These tart lemon popsicles are perfect for the warm summer days ahead!  The clean lemon flavor is refreshing and keeps you coming back for more.

I love the idea of pouring these pops into in an old fashioned mold and waiting 8 hours – then enjoying off a wooden stick.  Just like when we were kids.  These days I’m too impatient for all that!  For convenience and my instant gratification needs, I used the Zoku pop maker.  We have really enjoyed this little device.

For this recipe I was looking for something to fill my lemon appetite.  I wanted these to be pungent and real.  I tried to use minimal honey and to add some real zip I choose to put two slices of the whole lemon in there.  This adds a bit of bitter tartness that I adore.  You could opt out and replace the 2 slices with 1 T lemon zest.  This would give a more subtle lemon zip.

Cool off this summer with these refreshing tart lemon popsicles!
