Notes

I recommend adding lemon zest to the lemonade mixture for additional lemon flavor or garnish the popsicles with the zest before serving.

How can I keep the wooden stick standing straight up? 

Allow the popsicles to freeze for 30 minutes and then insert the wooden treat sticks in the stick hole.

What is a trick to get the popsicles to easily remove from the molds?

Either run the mold under warm water or soak the mold in a pan of warm water.
