Green Tea and Lemon Ice Lollies

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus freezing · Makes about 4 lollies

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Tetley Pure Green Tea (or Tetley Decaf Pure Green for young children)
• 300ml freshly boiled water, cooled to about 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or sugar, to taste
• Juice of half a lemon
• Optional: small pieces of strawberry or kiwi to drop into the moulds

Method

1. For the lollies, bring the boiled water down to around 80C (use a thermometer) and steep two bags of green tea in 300ml of it for 3 minutes. Lift the bags out without squeezing.
2. Stir in the honey while the tea is warm so it dissolves, then add the lemon juice and let it cool completely.
3. Drop a few pieces of fruit into each lolly mould if you are using them, then pour in the cooled tea, leaving a little room at the top.
4. Add the sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until solid. Dip the moulds briefly in warm water to release the lollies.
5. Sweeten the mix a touch stronger than tastes right warm, because freezing dulls how sweet it reads on the tongue.
