Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on the countertop with gentle pressure to release their juices before cutting them in half.
Juice the lemons to yield approximately 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
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.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed, adding a bit more honey or agave syrup if preferred.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Optional: Add a fresh mint leaf to each mold for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull them out.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Zesty Lemon Popsicles!
