Welcome viewers and introduce the popsicle recipe.

Start with the peanut popsicle by adding peanut butter to a blender.

Add cinnamon and nutmeg to the blender (no measurements needed).

Pour in some milk (any type, including evaporated or whole milk) to help blend.

Blend the mixture until smooth.

Add condensed milk for sweetness (or sugar/honey as alternatives) and blend again.

The peanut popsicle mixture is ready.

Next, prepare the orange flavor kool-aid popsicle by adding 4 cups of water to a bowl.

Sprinkle in some lime juice for flavor.

Add sugar to the water and mix well, tasting to adjust sweetness as desired.

Prepare the cherry flavor kool-aid popsicle (not shown in detail).

For the coconut popsicle, grate fresh coconut and mix it with water to extract juice (or use canned coconut).

Add spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the coconut mixture.

Pour in milk to prevent the popsicle from being too icy and add sugar or sweetened condensed milk for sweetness.

Mix the coconut popsicle mixture well, using a whisk or blender if preferred.

Demonstrate packing the popsicle mixture into popsicle bags, twisting and tying them off.

Repeat the packing demonstration for the peanut popsicle mixture.

Do another demonstration for the kool-aid popsicle, pouring the mixture into the bag and tying it off.

Place the packed popsicles in the freezer to set until solid.

Once solid, demonstrate how to bite the tip and suck the popsicle, referring to them as 'schoolboy' popsicles.
