EARL GREY TEA AND LIME ICE POPS
Southerners love their sweet tea, although I've never been a huge fan. These ice pops have a good balance of sweet-tart, but if you're a sweet tea lover, go ahead and add more sugar. Once you taste fresh lime in tea, you may never go back to lemon (I haven't).

Steps:
- Pour boiling water over tea bags in a jar or pitcher, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.

- Drop a lime slice into each ice pop mold. Pour in mixture, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the sticks or tops in and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.

Tips:
- Use high-quality green tea. The better the quality of the tea, the better the popsicles will taste. Look for organic, loose-leaf green tea for the best flavor.
- Steep the green tea for the recommended time. This will ensure that the tea has a strong flavor. If you steep the tea for too long, it will become bitter.
- Sweeten the tea to your liking. You can use honey, sugar, or another sweetener. If you are using honey, wait until the tea has cooled slightly before adding it. This will prevent the honey from losing its flavor.
- Add your favorite fruits and herbs. This is a great way to customize the popsicles to your liking. Some popular additions include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mint, and basil.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours. This will ensure that they are frozen solid. You can freeze them for longer if you want, but they may start to lose their flavor after a few weeks.
Conclusion:
Green tea ice pops are a refreshing and healthy treat that are perfect for summer. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of antioxidants. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make delicious and nutritious green tea ice pops that the whole family will enjoy.
