Ingredients for Ginger Peach Tea Popsicles
- 2 peach tea bags (or substitute with your favorite herbal tea)
- 1 cup (8 fl oz / 225 ml) water (hot, for steeping)
- 1/4 cup (2 1/2 oz / 71 g) honey (adjust to taste or use maple syrup as an alternative)
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (use a GoodCook Grater/Zester for best results)
- Juice of 1 lemon (freshly squeezed for the brightest flavor)
- 1 cup (5 oz / 142 g) peaches, pureed (fresh or frozen both work)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Steep the tea: In a small jug, steep the 2 peach tea bags in hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the honey, grated ginger, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Set aside to cool and infuse for about 10 minutes.
- Puree the peaches: In a small food processor or blender, puree the peaches until smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Once the tea has cooled, mix it with the peach puree until well combined.
- Assemble popsicles: Gently fill 4 popsicle molds (like the Sweet Creations Popsicle Maker Set) with the mixture, leaving a small space at the top. Cover the molds and insert wooden sticks.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Remove popsicles: To release the popsicles, let the molds sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. If needed, run the molds under hot water for 5-10 seconds to loosen.
- Serve and enjoy: These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Perfect for a refreshing treat!
Sweeten It Up: Sauce and Topping Ideas
For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle your Ginger Peach Tea Popsicles with a light honey glaze or a sprinkle of finely chopped mint leaves. If you’re feeling adventurous, a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon can add a delightful twist to these refreshing treats.
Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions
These popsicles are a fantastic standalone treat, but they also pair wonderfully with a summer fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla yogurt. Serve them at your next picnic or poolside gathering for a cool, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s both healthy and delicious.
Freeze and Enjoy: Storage Tips
Once made, these popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, wrap each popsicle individually in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easy removal from the mold.
Mix It Up: Recipe Variations
Feel free to experiment with different tea flavors like green tea or chamomile for a unique twist. You can also swap out the peaches for other fruits like mango or berries. For a creamier texture, try adding a splash of coconut milk or almond milk to the mixture before freezing.
Quick and Easy: Time-Saving Tips
To save time, prepare the peach puree and tea mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, simply pour the mixture into the popsicle molds and freeze. This way, you’ll have a refreshing treat ready to go whenever you need it.
