When I’ve
first tried Kusmi Tea, I was instantly smitten with their great quality and variety. I even turned the
tins into candles, because that’s how much I like tea tins. So when I was asked to review the
Strawberry Green Tea, I had no doubt it would be the perfect summer tea. I drank the tea warm and loved it, but summer calls for cooler, lighter things. So I took that flavorful, antioxidant tea and turned it into two treats: ice tea and popsicles. To keep the tea from diluting, I used frozen strawberries instead of ice cubes, and to make the pops more fun I’ve layered the tea with mashed strawberries. And yes, that’s as easy as it sounds:
A refreshing drink for all your summer parties

Ingredients
- 200ml water
- 1 strawberry green tea bag
- 200g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- popsicle molds
Instructions
- Heat the water to about 80 degrees celsius and infuse the tea for 3-4 minutes. Sweeten if necessary and let cool.
- Divide the tea into six popsicle molds, only covering about half of each one. Place in the freezer for at least half an hour (or until it starts freezing).
- Meanwhile, puree the strawberries using a blender or a potato masher. Pour in the popsicle molds, creating a layered effect. Freeze for a couple of hours before serving.
Notes
- To remove popsicles from their molds easily, run some warm water over them.
