Classic Lemonade Ice Pops Food

CHEF JOHN'S LEMON ICE

Steps:

• Dissolve sugar in water in a pot over medium heat, whisking while water heats up. As soon as sugar dissolves and water is clear, remove pan from heat. While water is still warm, add lemon zest. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding lemon juice.
• Whisk in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into a baking pan about 9x13 inches. Place in freezer until ice starts to form around the edges, about 40 to 45 minutes. Use a fork to stir up ice. Do this every 20 to 30 minutes until lemon ice reaches your preferred texture, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

CREAMY LEMONADE ICE POPS

WATERMELON LEMONADE ICE POPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the watermelon and lemonade concentrate in a blender or food processor. Process for 10-20 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture through a wire mesh strainer to catch any seeds or solids.
• Fill up your molds leaving a little bit of room at the top because the mixture will expand when frozen. Place the molds in the freezer for an hour to partially freeze and then insert the ice pop sticks. Freeze for an additional 3 hours or until solid.

STRAWBERRY HORCHATA POPS

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the rice, water and cinnamon stick. Blend on high for 10 minutes, and pour into a large pitcher. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
• Blend the strawberries until completely smooth and pour into the pitcher with the rice water mixture. Give it a stir and then pour into a large measuring cup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the rice bits and strawberry seeds.
• Stir the milk, cinnamon and sugar into the horchata and then divide between the popsicle molds. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until firm, about 6 hours or overnight.
• Place the freeze dried strawberries in a food processor and process a few times until coarse crumbs and pour out onto a shallow plate.
• Dip each popsicle, at an angle, into the strawberry crumbs right before serving.
