Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Water
- 1 set Ice block molds
- 6 pieces Popsicle sticks
Directions
Step 1
Roll the fresh lemons on the countertop to soften them and make juicing easier.
Step 2
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. You should have about 120 milliliters of fresh lemon juice.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 250 milliliters of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves to form a simple syrup. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, the cooled simple syrup, and the remaining 500 milliliters of water. Stir well to ensure everything is combined.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or water if necessary.
Step 6
Carefully pour the lemonade mixture into the ice block molds, leaving a slight gap at the top to allow for expansion as it freezes.
Step 7
Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each mold. If your mold doesn’t have a built-in slot to hold the sticks, cover the molds with aluminum foil and pierce a small hole for each stick to keep them upright.
Step 8
Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.
Step 9
To remove the ice blocks, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing lemonade ice blocks!
