Cooling Down with Frosty Treats

With summer’s heat comes the joy of going to the beach, building sand castles and swimming. Or staying cool by running through a sprinkler. Frozen treats are another great way to cool down. They are also fun and easy to make at home! And homemade frozen treats are far better than those that are store-bought. They contain less sugar, artificial flavours and food colouring.
