Summer is an exciting time of fun in the sun and sweet memories, but sometimes you need a sweet treat that will cool you down. The perfect solution  is homemade lemonade popsicles. These easy and adorable treats are something that everyone is sure to love! They are perfect to eat at the beach or at your staycation. So let’s get started!

First what we are going to do is start with our super simple homemade lemonade recipe that only requires three ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups sugar

8 cups of water

1 ½ cups lemon juice

Procedure:

Bring the sugar and 1 cup of the water to a boil in a small saucepan and stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temp. then chill it in the fridge. Once chilled mix the sugar water with the lemon juice and rest of the water.

Next we have to assemble the popsicle. To do this you won’t need to buy any fancy popsicle mold, but use household items which eliminates the hassle.

To do this you take a glass and fill it about ¾ of the way full with the lemonade. Then cover tightly with plastic wrap and stick your popsicle stick through the plastic wrap (tip: if you don’t have popsicle sticks just use spoons they work just as well). Just so when you take it out the stick will be standing up. Then put the glasses in the freezer and leave them overnight. When you take it out the next morning you will have a delicious lemonade popsicle that is perfect for summer!

Variations:

To add a nice touch I added a slice of lemon inside of my popsicle and it would also taste good with other fruits inside like strawberries or oranges, but that is completely up to you. Or if you want a different kind of popsicle you can fill it halfway with lemonade and the other half with iced tea to make a delicious arnold palmer popsicle just like I did in the picture.
