Lemonade, Lemon Blueberry Ice Pops and Lemon Granita










Summer weather is finally here and it's time to break out the ice pop molds and lemon juicer. Cool off with some cold lemon treats. Dagan chose lemon blueberry ice pops to make for the kids project of the week. Here is my favorite lemonade recipe.

Lemonade

 Allrecipes

1 3/4 cup granulated sugar

8 cups water

1 1/2 cups lemon juice (about 8 lemons)

1. To make a simple syrup, stir sugar and water together in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Keep stirring till all the sugar dissolves. Cool to room temperature then pour into large pitcher and chill in the fridge.

2. Juice the lemons. Add lemon juice to chilled simple syrup. Stir in 7 cups of water.


To make lemon blueberry ice pops, pour lemonade into molds 3/4 full, add blueberries. Freeze.

To make the lemon granita, pour into large shallow dish. Place in freezer for 1 hour. Break up the ice crystals with a fork. Place in freezer for 30 minutes. Remove and break up ice crystals. Repeat granita texture is to your liking.
