Strawberry Agua Fresca Paletas
Strawberry Agua Fresca Paletas Makes 10 popsicles
Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries divided
- 3-4 tablespoon organic sugar
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ c simple syrup
- ¾ c cold water
Instructions
- Wash and hull all the strawberries. Quarter 3 cups and place in a blender with the lemon juice and sprinkle 3 tablespoon of the sugar over the top. Let sit 15 min to let the strawberries release their juices. Dice the remaining cup of strawberries into small pieces and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar on top and let sit for 15 min as well.
- Divide the diced strawberries amongst the popsicle molds. Puree the strawberries in the blender with simple syrup and cold water. Let sit until the bubbles dissipate. Divide amongst the popsicle molds and freeze according to manufacturer instructions
Notes
I ran the molds under lukewarm water and kept pulling on the popsicle sticks until one released and I wouldn't rinse anymore and just release the rest of the pops. I wrapped each pop in wax paper and kept in a freezer bag. I also let the popsicles freeze for about 20-30 min until slushy before adding the sticks so they would stay in better.
