Sweet Tea Ice Pops
If you like sweet tea, you'll love these refreshing Sweet Tea Ice Pops. Geez, even if you don't like sweet tea you may love these!
Ingredients
For Sweet Tea Ice Pops:
- 4 cups boiling water
- 4 decaffeinated or regular black tea bags Like Lipton, Red Rose, Luzianne, etc...
- simple syrup plain or flavoured, see below, to taste
For Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
To Make Simple Syrup:
- Add sugar and water to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir. Bring to a boil, stir to ensure the sugar is all dissolved and remove from the heat. Pour into a clean canning jar, fix a lid onto the jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
To Make the Sweet Tea Ice Pops:
- Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Remember that the flavour will be milder when frozen, so you may want to make it stronger than usual. Remove the tea bags and stir in simple syrup to taste. Again, the sweetness will be less pronounced when frozen so you may want to sweeten slightly more than you usually would do. Let the tea cool to lukewarm.
- Pour the tea into popsicle moulds (or small, disposable paper cups) and insert sticks. Put the moulds in the freezer until the tea is frozen through the center, about 8 hours, depending on the size of your moulds.
