What time is it? It is paleta time!

Do you want to make a child giddy with excitement on a hot day or make a hot adult feel as giddy as a child? Offer them a paleta to cool them down in the heat. Popsicles or paletas are a fun and tasty way to beat the heat.

If you live in an area where ice cream trucks still make the rounds or a neighborhood with regular paleteros, then keep your ears alert for those lovely sounds that announce their arrival. Or you could just make your own paletas!

Got kids? Get them in on the paleta making action. They'll have fun, but be warned that they will stand by the freezer impatiently waiting for the fruits of their labor.

Here are 5 recipes for perfect paletas. Enjoy!
