• Don’t fully fill to the top of the mold to leave room for the popsicle to expand while it freezes.
• Set a timer to make sure after 1 hour to check your lemon popsicles in the freezer.
• Your liquid will be slightly frozen and the sticks will stay in place so they won’t be crooked.
• When it’s time to remove the molds from the popsicles let them sit at room temperature for some minutes first and then continue to pull the stick up and push on the bottom at the same time.
• Store them in the freezer in zip lock bags for when you are ready to eat them
