Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Honey (or agave syrup for a vegan version)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Roll the lemons on the countertop with gentle pressure to release their juices before cutting them in half.
Step 2
Juice the lemons to yield approximately 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, water, honey (or agave syrup), and lemon zest. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed, adding a bit more honey or agave syrup if preferred.
Step 5
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Step 6
Optional: Add a fresh mint leaf to each mold for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Step 7
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
Step 8
To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull them out.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Zesty Lemon Popsicles!
