Ingredients

3 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup lime juice + zest about 5 small limes
green food coloring optional

Instructions

In a small pan, bring water to a simmer and whisk in sugar until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Wash, dry, zest and juice limes.
In a blender, combine lime juice, zest, simple syrup and food coloring (optional) until fully incorporated. I like using a blender to help blend up some of the zest into the mixture but you can also just whisk it together in a bowl just realize you'll have larger zest pieces in your popsicles OR you can strain it out before filling the molds.
Place popsicle mold on a baking pan. Carefully pour the mixture into the popsicle mold leaving a little bit on space at the top. Add popsicle lid and popsicle sticks. Place in freezer for 4-7 hours.
Remove popsicles from mold when ready to enjoy. Eat and enjoy.

Notes

Not all popsicles molds are the same. This mixture works perfectly for my mold. You could potentially need more or less depending on what kind of popsicle mold you use.
After removing these popsicles from the popsicle mold, either serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Use a container/bowl with a spout or a pitcher or funnel for easier pouring into the popsicle mold.
Make sure that you leave a little unfilled space (about ¼- ½ an inch) at the top of the molds to accommodate the liquid slightly expanding in the freezer. This also helps to make it easier when transporting the filled molds to the freezer.
