I have only made a couple of recipes from this book so far--the Hibiscus-Raspberry Ice Pop and the Jamaica Aguas Fresca (Hibiscus Iced Tea), but they have both been even better than I expected. I had purchased some hibiscus flowers to make the iced tea, and tried a different recipe I found on-line that called for half as many flowers, and steeping in the refrigerator. I wasn't all that enthusiastic about the final drink, went searching for a way to use up the hibiscus flowers, and remembered this cookbook. I was worried that the iced tea I had made was going to be too weak to work in a popsicle (as frozen items can seem less flavorful than they do when warm), so I followed her recipe for the ice pop which uses her hibiscus agua fresca recipe as a base. The final hibiscus drink was SO much better than the one I had made before--I have since made it twice more (in about a week and a half). The ice pop was fantastic too--although I only have six small popsicle molds (these molds Clearance Sale - Ozera Ice Popsicle Molds, Ice Pop Molds, Ice Pop Maker, Oval, Set of 6, Green  which work great, by the way), and using her recipe as written meant that most of each mold was filled with raspberries. So the final ice pop tastes essentially like the most refreshing frozen raspberry ice pop you can imagine--which is not a complaint on any level--but I want to try again with half the amount of raspberries so that I can also taste the hibiscus this time.-Melise Gerber

The Paletas de Limon came out so good I’m on here writing a review! It’s awesome to know exactly how much sugar went into the recipe and see the exact measures of fresh lime juice (vitamin C!). It was nice to awaken to a pop so delicious I’m writing for all of you to read about it! From the first taste the lime flavor beat out all those I’ve had from a paletero over the years. No trip to Mexico needed! -Izzi 

This book has some of straightforward simple pop recipes like watermelon, or strawberry, and other more exotic ones. I made the avocado pop and it is delicious! For coconut pop, you have two recipes: one simple recipe where you use canned coconut milk, and another one that teaches you how to use a whole coconut step by step. I love the aguas frescas recipes too, like cucumber-lime where you blend the whole cucumber instead of just sticking some slices into the water, and limeade with chia seeds! -Bandoeri
