Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Lemonade Mixture
- 3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed, if frozen)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
- 2-3 Tbsp. honey or agave (adjust, to taste)
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Lemonade Mixture: In a blender, combine the strawberries, fresh lemon juice, honey or agave, and water to create the base for your popsicles.
- Blend: Puree the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, ensuring all the ingredients are fully combined for the best flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add more lemon juice or honey/agave if you prefer it more tart or sweeter. Blend briefly again if you add anything.
- Fill the Popsicle Molds: Using a funnel or carefully pouring, fill the popsicle molds with the strawberry lemonade mixture, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
- Insert Sticks: Cover the molds with their lids and insert the popsicle sticks securely to prepare for freezing.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.
- Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy a refreshing, homemade strawberry lemonade treat!
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, but frozen strawberries work well when thawed.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of honey or agave.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, small paper cups and wooden sticks can be used as alternatives.
- To release popsicles easily, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds.
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture to remove seeds if desired.
