Ingredients

finely grated zest of 1 orange
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
4 tablespoon water
2 ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 6 oranges)
1/3 freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)

Directions

Put the orange zest, sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved, then stir the syrup into the orange and lemon juices.
Pour the mixture into your icepop molds, leaving ¼ inch at the top to allow the mixture to expand when it freezes. Insert the ice pop sticks and freeze.
