- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups cold water
- ½ cup granulated sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions
- Prepare the Lemonade Mixture: In a pitcher, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, cold water, granulated sugar (or honey), and lemon zest until the sugar or honey dissolves completely, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the prepared lemonade mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.

- Insert Popsicle Sticks: Place popsicle sticks into the center of each mold to serve as handles.
- Freeze: Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until the popsicles are solid and fully set.
- Remove from Molds: To easily remove the popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen them before pulling them out.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the lemonade popsicles immediately for a refreshing summer treat.
Notes
- Add fresh berries or mint leaves to the molds for extra flavor and color variation.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar or honey according to your taste preference.
