Ingredients
For The Sweet Iced Tea
- Favorite black tea
- Sugar
- Ice
For The Lemonade
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice any seeds removed
- 1 cup water room temperature
- 7 cups chilled water
Instructions
To Make The Sweet Iced Tea
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Remove from heat and pour over tea bag (I used family size).
- Brew for 5 minutes, squeeze tea bag and discard.
- Add ¾ cup of sugar, stir until dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of ice and stir until melted.
To Make The Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and allow the syrup to cool down to room temperature.
- Stir the cooled syrup and the lemon juice into the remaining, chilled water until completely incorporated.
To Make The Popsicles
- Fill your popsicle molds 3/4 of the way with the sweet tea.
- Add lemonade to the molds until the mixture has reached the fill line.
- Use a stirrer to gently stir the mixture to combine.
- Insert sticks and freeze. Run under warm water for a few seconds to release the frozen pops from their molds when ready to eat.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Don't feel like making tea and lemonade from scratch? Substitute with your favorite store brands instead!
- Depending on if you like your tea on the stronger side, you can use as many tea bags or as few as fit your personal tastes.
- Be sure to let both the tea and lemonade cool to room temperature before adding to the popsicle molds to prevent melting the plastic.
