2 to 3 lemons, plus thin slices of lemon, halved into half-moons, for garnish

1 orange

1 cup sliced fresh ginger

1/3 to 1/2 cup honey

Directions

Special equipment:

cheesecloth; a 10-cavity popsicle mold

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of the lemons and orange and add to a small saucepan. Juice the fruit to yield 3/4 cup total, then set aside. Add the ginger to the pan and cover with 3 1/2 cups filtered water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until 2 1/2 cups liquid remain, 10 to 12 minutes. Cut the heat and allow it to steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the ginger and zest, then strain the mixture through a sieve lined with cheesecloth into a liquid measuring cup. Add the citrus juice and honey, then mix well to dissolve.
Pour the mixture into a 10-cavity popsicle mold, adding a lemon slice to each before topping with the stick. Freeze for 8 hours or up to overnight.
