- ¼ cup liquid honey (see Tips below) 60 mL
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Tips
* It is preferable to use at least 2% yogurt or yogurt with a higher fat content for this ice pop. Greek-style or drained (thickened) yogurt also produces a good result. Non-fat or 1% yogurt can be used, but will produce an icy rather than creamy result.
* Use a light-flavored floral honey such as wildflower, orange blossom, acacia, or clover.
