Sunrise Lolly

Sunrise Lolly

Ingredients:

3 am DM’s

Juice of a relationship

1 love, peeled and chopped

 

Finely grate all the texts you’ve sent

And place on a tea towel

Gather up the towel and squeeze

The tears into a jug

Discard the pulp

 

Add the juice of a relationship

Top up with smiles, memes, wishes and dreams

Make up to 120 ml, similar to the days since he left

Stir in the zest and pieces of love

Pour into lolly moulds

Freeze overnight
