Refreshing and naturally sweetened Lemonade Popsicles made with fresh lemon juice, honey or cane sugar, and lemon zest. Perfect for a quick and easy homemade treat to cool down on warm days.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup honey or organic cane sugar (depending on preferred sweetness level)
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water (to help the sugar or honey easily dissolve)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon), finely zested

Instructions

  1. Whisk Ingredients Together: In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey or cane sugar, lukewarm water, and lemon zest until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Using a measuring cup makes it easier to pour the mixture later.
  2. Fill Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the lemonade mixture into your popsicle molds, filling them almost to the top to allow for slight expansion during freezing.
  3. Freeze Until Solid: Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or preferably overnight until they are completely solid.
  4. Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy your refreshing homemade lemonade popsicles!

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or cane sugar used.
  • Using lukewarm water helps dissolve the sweetener more quickly and evenly.
  • For an extra tangy flavor, add a bit more lemon zest or juice.
  • If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and popsicle sticks as an alternative.
  • Store popsicles in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks for best taste and texture.
