Homemade Popsicle Recipe – Limonana

May 13, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Homemade popsicles are a summer staple in our house and I love to try different flavors every summer. Limonana is the best drink in Israel, and now it’s in a popsicle form, you’re welcome!

Israeli love their Nana (mint) tea with lemon and I am assuming that’s how this famous slushy drink began. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, blended with ice, mint and sugar make this super yummy drink turned ice pop and trust me, you’re going to love it!

What is Limonana?

Limonana is an Israeli lemonade that you can buy at any cafe or restaurant throughout the country. Freshly squeezed lemonade with nana, also known as mint.

The more popular Limonana Garus, is the same drink but blended into a frozen slushy. The perfect summer drink which is favored by all Israelis.

What ingredients do you need for Limonana Popsicles?

There are only 5 ingredients in this delicious treat and they are all easy to get!

  1. Lemon juice
  2. Sugar
  3. Mint leaves
  4. Ice
  5. Water

How to make this homemade popsicle recipe?

I know I say all my recipes are easy – because they are! – but this one is realllllly easy! All you need to do is blend up all the ingredients and pour the mixture into the molds, and voila, Limonana popsicles!

How to store Limonana popsicles?

The best way to store homemade popsicles is in small cellophane bags. If you can find bags that are the same size as the popsicles that would be best, but if you can’t any size will do.

If you can’t find cellophane bags, you can use basic sandwich bags.

Place the ice pops into the bags and then store them together in the freezer.

How to get the homemade popsicle recipe out of the molds?

Getting popsicles out of their molds is one of the biggest challenges when making homemade popsicles and I imagine it will differ between the various Popsicle Mold options. I use a silicone Popsicle Mold that I got on Amazon. The best way to remove the popsicles from this silicone mold is to push them out from the bottom, don’t pull them from the stick.

If you have a hard plastic Popsicle Mold, I recommend running them under warm water until the popsicles pop out.

Here’s part 2 of the behind the scenes from the @millsforpets shoot!

This was challenging for me because, as a vegetarian, fish and meat kind of gross me out.. I used a paper towel to move the proteins around and it was a great solution!

✨✨✨
Stop motion is the perfect video technique to highlight the unique quality of this dog food - that it’s made from fresh produce 🥬! 

By having the fresh ingredients pop out of the dog food bags we can visually showcase why this dog food is so great for your dog and why you should buy it! 

See my feed for part 1 if you missed it and stay tuned for part 3 🙌🏻

We clean up nice 😊 

Fun stop Motion Magic to get ready for the wedding last night!

Ok let’s be honest. 
Comfort is my number 1. 
Always was and always will be. 
I’m super sensitive when it comes to touch/ feel etc so sweatshirts, cotton tshirts, leggings, sweatpants, cotton black skirts… that’s all I ever want to be wearing.. and thankfully that’s what I do!

Did I have an amazing time last night?! Yes!!!
Would it have been even better in sweats and no makeup? Duh!!!

But I will say, if I have to be wearing a full face of makeup- I’d want @eliannamakeuup to be doing it! She was super quick, and she was able to do something that complimented me but also not look like too much- and it stayed on ALL day and ALL night!!! Super impressive!

Those fake eyelashes on the other hand… 🫣

(Also, super random… I ended up with different shoes 😂 but this was option 2…)

Ok, we’re ready for the next wedding now @drayster817 💃🏻

✨Behind the Scenes✨ Here’s how I made the c ✨Behind the Scenes✨

Here’s how I made the characters change colors in the @beitissie stop motion…

1️⃣ First I asked the amazing @viculsh to illustrate and design these characters for the project! ❤️❤️❤️
2️⃣ Then I cut out with the @cricut_il and put together 5 of each character in black and white and in color. 
3️⃣ Then I imagined how I want them changing color and I cut the color characters in 4 stages, a little bit more each time. 
4️⃣ Then I glued each of the color parts that I cut onto the black and white characters, so that each one had a bit more color than the last!
5️⃣ I lined up all the characters to make sure it made sense in sequence.
6️⃣ And then I animated them, but replacing each one until I got the the fully colorful version!

✨Tony’s✨ Some behind the scenes from a quic ✨Tony’s✨

Some behind the scenes from a quick personal shoot.

The last few weeks have been super intense for me.
I got sick 😷 (which is tfu tfu tfu pretty rare for me) and 4 weeks later I got worse before getting better. Thankfully antibiotics are taking care of me now 😅..

But all the while I was trying to work (on some insanely exciting projects I CANNOT wait to share!) and rest, but mainly work. So I def didn’t have time for creating content for fun, or posting or keeping up to date etc..

So today when my husband called and asked if I wanted him to bring me something, I said “chocolate”. Now, I’m a salty first girl. I’ll (almost, apparently) *always* want fries before sweets, but that’s the first thing that came to mind.

When he came home with this @tonyschocolonely bar, I thought, can’t eat this! Have to shoot it first 📸😂

And so… here we are! We made it to the end of January, we all deserve a gold medal 🥇 (or some emotional chocolate 🍫). Who wants a piece?

✨Boker✨ It seems fitting that my first paper ✨Boker✨

It seems fitting that my first paper art stop motion would be my morning coffee ☕️ 

Had such a hard time figuring out this new @cricut_il machine! I thought it would be more user friendly and intuitive- but alas! There’s a big learning curve, which I’m sure I’ll eventually figure out (5 million YouTube videos later).

Thankfully @tam_man177 doesn’t scare easily and was willing to sit and play with me for hours to pull this off! But now we have something to show for it 😍

Also super fun to feature @shanakoppel’s Hebrew “boker” gif that I love and use every morning in my stories!
