Summers vacations are all about spending time with family, homework (sigh!), and enjoying your favourite foods (read: chuskis or baraf golas). But over the years, chuski stalls have gradually vanished from the streets, making us miss those sweet and tangy ice popsicles.

Ingredients
For Ice Gola
*Ice cubes
*Ice Cream sticks – 8
*Glass – 1 or as required
*Chat masala – to taste
Aam Panna Syrup (makes 10 cups)
*Ripe mango, Cubed – 250gm
*Raw mango, Cubed – 150gm
*Sugar – 200gm
*Black salt – 1 tsp
*Salt – to taste
*Roasted cumin, crushed – 2 tsp
*Black pepper powder – 3/4 tsp
Method
For Aam Panna syrup
*Peel the mangoes and roughly cut them to extract the pulp.
*Put it in a pan with sliced and peeled raw mango, water, sugar, salt, and rock salt, and boil it till it’s cooked.
*Once raw mango is soft, take it out in a bowl and let it cool down.
*Pour the mixture into a blender and make a smooth puree.
*Take it out in a bowl and add roasted cumin powder and black pepper. Aam Panna syrup is ready!
For chuski
*First, break the ice, with a rolling pin or a hammer.
*Simply wrap the ice cubes in a clean cloth and make a potli (sack) and then hammer it with a heavy object.
*Add this coarsely crushed ice to a mixer grinder and further crush it into thin flakes of ice like snow.
*In a glass, add crushed ice up to half the glass and press it very gently.
*Put one ice cream stick in the middle, add more crushed ice on top and around it and this time press it down very hard with your fingers.
*Take the ice lolly (gola) out of the glass by pulling the ice cream stick. Pour the syrup over it.
