Paletas de Limon
- 2 cups water
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 (1-inch) strips of lime zest
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 10 small limes)
- Combine the water, sugar, and lime zest in a small nonreactive saucepan.
- Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, then stir in the lime juice.
- If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours.
- If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours.
- If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturers instructions.
