Pour the fresh orange juice into a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Heat the sugar-water mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves to form a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the simple syrup from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, add the simple syrup to the orange juice in the mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Pour the orange mixture evenly into ice lolly molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
Insert sticks into the molds if not pre-fitted.
Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the ice lollies from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and carefully pull out the ice lollies.
Enjoy your homemade orange ice lollies as a refreshing treat!
