FruiTEA Wigglers
Ingredients:
6 Bigelow®
Red Raspberry Herb Tea Bags*
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup cold water
1 packet unflavored, unsweetened gelatin (1 tablespoon)
1 cup fresh raspberries (or other fresh fruit such as blueberries,
strawberries, or diced peaches)
6 small tea cups
Makes 6 - 4 oz servings
*Variations: You may
substitute any of Bigelow's fruit-flavored herb teas in this recipe
(Perfect Peach, I Love Lemon, and Pomegranate Pizzazz were
our favorites). Also try mixing equal amounts of different
teas for a different twist: Perfect Peach and Red Raspberry or I Love Lemon and Red Raspberry are two
delicious combinations.
Instructions:
This all-natural, low-calorie dessert is a favorite among
kids and adults alike! By transforming herb tea into a
fruit-filled gelatin treat without artificial sweeteners, you get
the health benefits of tea while enjoying a timeless classic
snack.
Place tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water and allow to steep for
3-5 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard. Add 2
tablespoons of sugar to hot tea and stir to dissolve.
Meanwhile, place ¼ cup of cold water in a medium bowl and
add the gelatin. Stir to combine and allow to sit for 2
minutes. Add hot, sweetened tea to bowl with gelatin and whisk to
combine. Evenly distribute the raspberries (or other fresh
fruit of your choice) among the tea cups.
Divide the gelatin mixture evenly between the tea cups, and
carefully place them into the refrigerator to chill for at least 3
hours, or until set.
Serve with whipped cream if desired.
