Ingredients

Ingredients

• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
• 2 tablespoons lemon or lime zest (mixed is best!)
• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)
• 2 ½ cups cold water
• Optional: 6–8 fresh mint leaves, torn

Instructions

Instructions

1. In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lime juice, zest, honey, and cold water until the honey is fully dissolved.
2. Stir in the torn mint leaves for a subtle, cooling flavor. Let sit for 5–10 minutes if you'd like a stronger infusion, then strain out if preferred.
3. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion. Insert sticks.
4. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until completely solid.
5. To release, run the mold under warm water for 15–20 seconds and gently pull popsicles out. Enjoy immediately or store in a freezer-safe bag.

Notes

No honey? Use maple syrup or agave to keep it vegan.

More citrus punch? Add a splash of orange or grapefruit juice.

Kids' version: Add thin slices of citrus or berries to the molds before freezing.

Add fizz: Replace half the water with lemon or lime sparkling water for a light bubbly texture.
