How to Make Classic Lemonade Ice Pops
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and the zest of 2 lemons.
- Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup, discarding the solids.
- Whisk in 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 cups cold water.
- Pour the mixture into ice pop molds. Freeze until slushy (about 2 hours), then insert popsicle sticks.
- Continue freezing until solid, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. If using an ice pop kit, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
