Creating Lemon Drop Jolly Pops can be a delightful experience, especially when you follow these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Juice the Lemons: Squeeze the juice from the lemons until you have 1 cup. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, water, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion.
5. Add Garnishes: If desired, add fresh mint leaves or a few berries into the molds for added flavor and presentation.
6. Insert Sticks: Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they stand upright.
7. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
8. Remove from Molds: Once frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to help release the pops.
9. Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in a freezer-safe bag for future treats.
