Frequently Asked Questions

Can I warm the water and honey in the microwave?

Yes! You can also warm the water in a microwave-safe glass for 60 seconds and mix in the honey to dissolve it.

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

I don’t recommend using bottled lemon juice for these lemonade popsicles. Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives these popsicles the most natural, lemony flavor. Bottle lemon juice is very concentrated and can be more bitter.

Are they healthy?

Yes, these lemonade popsicles are healthy for many reasons. First, they are refined sugar-free since we sweeten them naturally with honey. Second, they only call for 3 ingredients. Third, there are no preservatives, gums, or “natural flavors.” Fourth, they are gluten-free and dairy-free.

Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?

Yes, you can substitute the honey with maple syrup; however, the flavor will change, and these lemonade popsicles will have some maple notes.

Can I use granulated sugar instead of honey?

You can also use granulated white sugar instead of honey to sweeten these lemonade popsicles. Follow the same instructions in the recipe card below and ensure all the sugar is dissolved in the water in step 1.

What is the best way to get popsicles out of a mold?

There are two easy ways to quickly get homemade popsicles out of their mold: (1) let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, or (2) run the bottoms under lukewarm water for 30 seconds.

How to store them:

You can store these lemonade popsicles in the freezer for up to 2 months. Either keep them in the mold or store them in airtight baggies.
