Make your own orange popsicles with black tea
For 8 popsicles you need:
- 350ml of water
- 2 tea bags black tea (e.g. from Lipton or Twinings)
- 120 ml orange juice
- 1 orange slice
- Molds for popsicles (e.g. via Amazon)
And this is how you make the ice refreshment yourself:
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan and turn off the heat. Put two tea bags in the water and let the tea steep for about five minutes. Take out the tea bags and add the orange juice. Let the tea and orange mix cool until it has reached room temperature. Then put the pot in the fridge for about an hour.
- As soon as the liquid has cooled down, pour the tea and orange mix into the ice molds. Put a slice of orange in the mold first. Then put the lid on and into the freezer.
- The ice now needs a few hours to freeze completely. Once set, it’s ready to be enjoyed. Letting water run over the mold for a moment helps to loosen the ice from the mold.
We discovered the ice cream idea from food photographer Andrea D’Agosto. For even more pretty food inspiration follow her on Instagram.
