Homemade Orange Popsicles

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh orange juice (about 4-6 oranges)
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)
• Fresh fruit chunks (optional)

Instructions

1. Juicing the Oranges: Squeeze the juice from the fresh oranges until you have about 2 cups.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
3. Taste and Adjust: Give your mixture a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or syrup gradually, mixing after each addition.
4. Add Optional Ingredients: If you want creamy orange popsicles, mix in the coconut milk until well combined. You can also stir in fresh fruit chunks at this stage.
5. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
6. Insert Sticks: If your molds don’t come with lids, insert popsicle sticks into the mixture, ensuring they are centered.
7. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.
8. Remove from Molds: To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicles out.
9. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Homemade Orange Popsicles!
