Double Raspberry Tea-sicles
Ingredients:
8 Bigelow®
Red Raspberry Herb Tea Bags
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons sugar
3 oz. fresh raspberries
¼ cup orange juice
Popsicle mold or six 3 oz. plastic cups and six wooden popsicle
sticks
Yield: Makes 6 popsicles
Variations: Substitute any one of
your favorite Bigelow® Teas including I Love Lemon Herb Tea, Herb Plus
Wild Blueberry Acai, Mint Medley Herb Tea, or Green Tea with Blueberry, Green Tea with Pomegranate,
Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Mint, or Green Tea with Mango( note: green
teas do have some caffeine). Substitute fruits according to what
tea flavor you are using.
Instructions:
Steep tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove
bags, stir in sugar, and then allow to cool.
In a food processor or blender, puree raspberries until smooth. To
remove seeds, use the back of a spoon to press puree through a mesh
sieve or colander into a bowl. This will yield approximately
¼ cup of seedless puree. Stir into cooled tea. Add orange
juice and stir to combine.
Pour mixture into pops (be sure to leave some room at the top, as
the pops will expand when frozen). If using popsicle molds, put
tops in place and freeze overnight. If you are using cups, freeze
for 1-2 hours, or until slushy, at which point you can add the
wooden sticks.
Run molds under hot water for a few seconds to loosen, unmold, and
enjoy.
Combine any two flavors of tea to make striped
pops: pour the first flavor into the mold, and freeze
for 1-2 hours, add sticks, and continue to freeze until firm. Then
add the second flavor on top, and freeze overnight.
