These lemon popsicles are sweet, tangy, and refreshing and made with just 4 ingredients. They’re naturally paleo and vegan, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (473 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 6 tablespoons (120 grams) runny honey or light maple syrup, see notes
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • popsicle sticks

Instructions

  • This recipe yields 2.66 cups (21.3 oz), depending on the mold you're using this will give you varying amounts of popsicles.
  • Mix everything together in a pitcher or a bowl with a lip or whatever lets you easily pour the mixture into the popsicle molds.
  • Pour into a popsicle mold. Put in the popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.
  • If they don’t come out easily, you can pour warm water around the sides and bottom of the popsicle mold to help loosen them.
  • Freeze leftover popsicles for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • If using maple syrup, don't use a dark, robust flavored one. I use the lightest type, which is also the cheapest. Even using the lightest maple syrup, your popsicles will be a little darker in color than the ones made with honey.
