Preparation
- Make the strawberry layer: Place the strawberries, water, agave, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a blender. Process until smooth and thick, about 10 seconds. Set aside.
- Make the charcoal lemonade layer: Whisk together the water, agave, charcoal liquid, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl until fully combined and inky black.
- Pour the strawberry layer about halfway up each popsicle mold (about 18 molds total). Slowly pour the charcoal lemonade layer on top. Insert the sticks into the molds.
- Freeze until fully chilled and solid, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
- If using metal molds, let them thaw at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving, or dip each mold into warm water for about 5 seconds to release. Store in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks for best flavor and texture.
- Enjoy!
