Thai Iced Coffee Popsicles

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp almond extract

1 cup strongly brewed coffee, cooled (prepared with 1/2 tsp ground cardamom added to coffee grinds)

2 Tbs coconut milk creamer

1) Boil sugar and water in saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add almond extract.

2) Combine syrup with remaining ingredients. Distribute into popsicle molds. Freeze for 8 hours.

Review: I can only make coffee using a Keurig. I added a 1/2 tsp ground cardamom to a reusable pod and it was clearly too much for just a cup of coffee. I believe the 1/2 tsp is for making a whole pot of coffee. It's a strong flavor and these popsicles strongly smelled of cardamom. However, I got a great taste of the Thai flavor. The almond extract balanced well and the coconut creamer worked well. The recipe pictured a popsicle that had layers of colors. I can't manage anything that fancy!!
