Description
A simple and refreshing summer treat utilizing seasonal peaches and freshly brewed iced tea.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz fresh brewed black tea, chilled
- 3 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
- 6–8 tbsp simple syrup* or honey
Tools:
- popsicle mold
- popsicle sticks
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, blend the peaches until they are a smooth puréed consistency.
- Add 12 oz of the peach purée to 20 oz of the chilled black tea. Mix in the simple syrup or honey, 1 tbsp at a time, until you’ve reached the desired level of sweetness. Stir gently to combine.
- Carefully fill each popsicle mold with the peach tea mixture. (It’s easier to pour the mixture into a large measuring cup for more accurate pouring.) Place in the freezer for 1 hour. After an hour, insert popsicle sticks, leaving about 1 1/2 inches outside of the mold. Place back in the freezer and continue freezing for at least 4 hours or until popsicles are set.
- To remove popsicles from mold, run under hot water for a few seconds to loosen the edges.
Notes
Simple Syrup:
- Combine 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved completely, stirring gently. Allow to cool completely. Transfer to a clear jar and store in the fridge until ready to use.
