Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: pomegranate juice, water, lemon juice, sweetener (if using), popsicle molds, and popsicle sticks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, water, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to mix all liquids evenly.
- Taste the mixture and add optional sweetener if desired. Mix well to ensure sweetener is completely dissolved.
- Carefully pour the pomegranate mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered and standing upright.
- Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which typically takes 4-6 hours or overnight.
- To remove popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water to help release them easily.
- Serve immediately and store any remaining popsicles in the freezer in an airtight container.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, 100% pure pomegranate juice for the most intense flavor and maximum health benefits.
- For extra smoothness, strain the juice before mixing to remove any potential pulp or sediment.
- Experiment with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit if you want to keep the sugar content minimal.
- To make removal easier, run popsicle molds under warm water for just a few seconds – this helps prevent breaking.
- For a fun twist, consider adding small pomegranate seeds to the mixture before freezing for added texture.
- If you don't have traditional popsicle molds, use small paper cups or even an ice cube tray as alternatives.
- Always leave a little space at the top of your molds to allow for liquid expansion during freezing.
