Tea Popsicles: Matcha & Earl Grey Ice Lolly Recipes

Jump to Recipe ↓

Why drink your tea hot when you can eat it frozen? Tea popsicles are the sophisticated, adult version of the ice lollies you grew up with. They are refreshing, lower in sugar than store-bought treats, and packed with antioxidants.

We are sharing two variations: a creamy Matcha Coconut pop that tastes like green tea ice cream, and a zesty Earl Grey Lemon pop that is essentially a frozen Arnold Palmer.

Instructions

For Matcha Coconut Pops:

1
Make Paste: In a bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tbsp of warm water to remove all clumps. It should be a thick green paste.
2
Blend: Add the coconut milk, sweetener, and vanilla to the matcha paste. Whisk until completely smooth and pale green.
3
Freeze: Pour into molds. Freeze for 4-6 hours.

For Earl Grey Pops:

1
Brew Strong: Steep the tea bags in the boiling water for 5-7 minutes. It needs to be strong because freezing dulls the flavor.
2
Sweeten & Sour: Remove bags. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Add the fresh lemon juice. Let it cool completely.
3
Decorate & Freeze: If using edible flowers or lemon slices, place them in the mold first. Pour the cool tea over them. Freeze for 4-6 hours.

Expert Tip: Avoid "Icy" Popsicles

Water-based popsicles (like the Earl Grey ones) can get rock hard and icy. To make them softer, simply add a little more sugar or honey. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, creating a softer texture that is easier to bite into.
