A Joburg content creator is giving South Africans a reason to think differently about pocket money. Rose posted a video on Instagram on 25 August 2026, showing her followers how to turn basic ingredients into a small business for less than R100.
The timing could not be better. With spring around the corner and summer heat on the way, Rose’s ice pop recipe is already catching fire online.
A recipe built for the streets
The recipe is as simple as it gets. Rose combines 5 litres of boiling water, one and a half cups of sugar (375 ml), two cups of powdered milk, food colouring of choice, and vanilla essence. Pour, freeze, and sell. That is the entire business model.
