Lemon Vodka Creamsicles = Mmmmm

These look soooo delish! What a fun way to beat the heat this August, since we're FINALLY getting some summer weather around here!!!! I'm not sure how difficult these would be to make, but do let me know if you try it. I may just be adventureous and attempt these..

Ingredients
-3 or 4 medium lemons
-1 cup heavy cream
-1 cup whole milk
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1/8 tsp. table salt
-2 Tbs. citron vodka

Instructions
Using a vegetable peeler, remove all of the zest from 3 of the lemons in 3- to 4-inch-long strips. Set the lemons aside.

Combine the lemon zest, cream, milk, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let steep at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.

Squeeze 2/3 cup juice from the reserved lemons (juice the fourth lemon, if necessary). Stirring constantly, pour the lemon juice into the cream mixture in a slow stream. Stir in the vodka.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a 4-cup glass measure (or any container with a spout for easy pouring), pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Divide the mixture among eight 3-oz. pop molds or wax-lined paper cups. Freeze until just barely set, 5 to 6 hours. Insert craft sticks and freeze until completely set, about 2 hours more. When ready to serve, unmold or peel off the paper cups. These pops can be frozen for up to three days.
