Ice Lemon Tea pops
On a hot day, I love to quench my thirst with a cold iced lemon tea. Lately, I have been thinking of turning them into ice lollies. Those who are familiar with me know that I enjoy making ice pops. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, my tiny freezer has no space to accommodate an ice pop mould. Nonetheless, these would be a perfect treat on a sweltering day.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tea bag
- 3-4 sprigs mint
- Juice of ½ lime or 1
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions:
- Place sugar and ½ cup water in a sauce pan and place on stove top over medium heat and boil till sugar is dissolved. Cool.
- Pour hot water into a heatproof jug, add the tea and mint and leave to steep and flavour it.
- Remove the tea bag, and mint leaves, add lime juice, and sugar syrup and cold water. Taste, adjust sugar and lime flavor.
- Cool completely and then pour into ice pop moulds and freeze to set.
I too enjoy a good ice pops during the hot summer days. p.s Coconut sugar tastes like raw dark brown sugar.
