cup

Instructions
Put the ginger, water, sugar and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Simmer until the sugar is dissolved, then remove the pan from heat and let it get to room temperature.
Pour the mixture through a fine strainer pressing down hard on the ginger with the back of a spoon. Mix in the lemon juice.
Pour the mixture into your ice pop molds, leaving 1/4 inch at the top to let the mixture expand while it freezes.
Place a slice of lemon in each mold if using then insert the sticks and freeze.
