Passion Tea Lemonade Popsicles

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way…..this is one of those recipes where you are probably going to scratch your head, wondering why I am posting such an insanely simple recipe. The short answer…..because I can! No seriously, I bet you never would have thought to freeze Passion Tea Lemonade Popsicles. You have me to think up these crazy ideas for you. 😉

I am going to sound like a broken record, but I could not find any popsicle molds here in Iowa. I could only find these kiddie pop makers at Target. They work, so I won’t complain. I did order some “real” popsicle molds from Amazon, so the next batch of popsicles that I have in the works will look like real popsicles! No, they do not contain any form of tea or lemonade. 😉

Most popsicle molds hold about 3 ounces, and I have 4 molds, so my math challenged mind came up with a total of 12 ounces…..

I made these without diluting the tea, so they are stronger and have more flavor. So boil 8 ounces of water and add 1 tea bag and steep for 5 minutes…..

Remove tea bag, and allow to cool completely. Mix with 4 ounces of lemonade and 2 Tablespoons of Simple Syrup . Pour mixture into popsicle molds…..

Put on the lids/sticks, and place in the freezer until completely frozen…..

When ready to serve, remove lids/sticks from the molds. If they stick and won’t release, simply run the mold under water water until it separates from the sides and the suction is broken. Serve with lots of napkins, and do not wear a white shirt…..

You might find this hard to believe, but I think I burned myself out on Passion Tea Lemonade last week!! I stood at Starbucks yesterday and could not figure out what to order {I was thirsty after shopping}. I can’t have dairy or soy, so I was looking for something different. The wonderful barista suggested Raspberry syrup…and it was awesome! I guess I will start playing with that combination as well, lol

I almost forgot the Passion Tea Lemonade Slushy that I promised you. I kept seeing pins on pinterest with people raving about having their drinks blended, so I decided to throw one in the blender. I added 2 cups of ice and 1 cup of sweetened Passion Tea Lemonade….

and gave it a try…..

Personally, I didn’t think it was anything to write home about. I will continue to make mine the regular way, and maybe start adding flavors…or Limoncello!

Enjoy!
