Servings: 10 popsicles
Calories: 22kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- lemon zest optional
Instructions
- In a small pan, bring water to a simmer and whisk in sugar until completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Stir in fresh lemon juice (and zest if using) until fully incorporated.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the popsicle mold.
- Freeze for 5 hours or overnight.
Notes
- If desired, you can add lemon zest to the mixture or garnish the popsicles with the zest before serving.
- You can use lime juice in place of lemon to make limeade popsicles!
- Use any size popsicle holder - you can even use an ice cube tray and make mini popsicles.
- Leave ¼" of room at the top of the mold to allow popsicles to expand.
- Try to enjoy these popsicles as soon as possible. While they can last a while in the freezer, the popsicle molds aren't 100% airtight and can lead to freezer burn on them over time.
- I do not recommend using bottled lemon juice. It’s best to use freshly squeezed lemon juice as bottled juice tends to have a bit of a bitter aftertaste. It also doesn’t have as bright of a flavor profile as freshly squeezed!
- The easiest way to get your lemonade into the popsicle mold is by using a funnel. This way you can get every last drop without any accidental spills!
- Do not skip allowing the sugar water to cool. When hot, it could potentially melt your popsicle mold.
- Substitute honey or maple syrup for the sugar if desired.
