Easy Lemon Popsicles

Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 1 cup of sugar (you can adjust to taste)
- 2 cups of water
- Zest of 2 lemons (for that extra zing)
Instructions
- Start by making your simple syrup. In a small pot, mix 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat it over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Once it’s clear, remove it from heat and let it cool.
- Next, gather your fresh lemons. Roll them on the counter with your hand to get those juices flowing, then cut them in half and squeeze out the juice, straining out any seeds so you’re left with that liquid gold.
- In a bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir it up until everything is well mixed. This is where the magic happens!
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles. Serve them up and enjoy your homemade summer delight!
