Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the fresh orange juice, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and water. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
If desired, add the orange zest to enhance the citrus flavor and gently mix it in.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and ensure they are centered.
Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.
To remove the orangecicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing citrus flavor!
