Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This will enhance the flavors and ensure a refreshing taste.

Adding Flavor Variations

  1. 3

    Prepare Flavor Additions

    If using fresh berries, wash them thoroughly and slice any larger berries, such as strawberries, in half. If using mint leaves, rinse them and pat dry.

  2. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    After the base mixture is chilled, pour it into a blender. Add your choice of flavor variations: for a berry flavor, add 2 cups of fresh berries; for a mint flavor, add 1 cup of mint leaves; or for a creamy texture, add 1 cup of coconut milk. Blend until smooth.

Freezing

  1. 5

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays, popsicle molds, or a shallow baking dish. Make sure not to overfill to allow for expansion while freezing.

  2. 6

    Freeze

    Place the molds or dish in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

Serving

  1. 7

    Unmold and Serve

    To serve, remove the frozen treats from the molds or dish. If using a baking dish, you may need to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy your refreshing freeze!
