Popsicle Molds

Ingredients

2 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

US (cups) - UK (ml/g)

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Pour the popsicle liquid into clean popsicle molds.
Cover with the popsicle sticks that came with the molds, and place the popsicles in the freezer. Leave them to set until they are completely frozen, about 4 hours.
If you're using wooden popsicle sticks: Place the popsicles in the freezer without the sticks inserted until the liquid has started to set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then, insert the popsicle sticks into the middle of them. This should allow the sticks to sit in place in the middle of the popsicles.
Remove the popsicles from the mold when you are ready to eat them.

Notes

The popsicles take about 4 hours to freeze completely, but you can store them in a freezer for up to 8 months.
If you use silicone popsicle molds, the popsicles are really easy to remove. However, if you use plastic or metal popsicle molds, the popsicles can be harder to get out. The trick to getting popsicles out of harder molds is to let them defrost slightly first. You can do this either by placing the molds under running lukewarm water for a few seconds, or by leaving the frozen popsicles at room temperature for a few minutes. The slightly defrosted popsicles should then easily slide out of the molds.
