Top Tips
- It is best to slice your fruits thinly so it would be easier to bite and chew once it is frozen.
- Roll 4 lemons on a hard surface with your palm, it will help bring out the juice of the lemons.
Substitutions
- Cane Sugar: Instead of cane sugar, you can use agave nectar, coconut nectar, or date syrup as a sweetener. Adjust the amount based on your desired level of sweetness.
- Lime Juice: Lime juice can be substituted for lemon juice if you don't have limes on hand. Both citrus juices add a tangy flavor to the popsicles.
- Popsicle Molds: If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups or ice cube trays with wooden sticks inserted as handles. Silicone molds are also a good alternative if you have them.
- Tea Flavors: Feel free to use your favorite fruity tea flavor
Variations
- Fresh Fruits: Feel free to customize the fruits used in the popsicles based on your preferences and seasonal availability. You can use a variety of fruits such as berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), mango, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, or bananas.
- Coconut Water Popsicles: Replace some of the coconut milk with coconut water for a lighter and more hydrating popsicle.
Storage
- Freezing: Once the popsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Arrange them in a single layer to prevent them from sticking together.
- Interleaving: If stacking the popsicles, place a layer of parchment paper or wax paper between each popsicle to prevent them from freezing together.
- Sealing: Seal the container or bag tightly to prevent freezer burn and preserve the flavor and texture of the popsicles.
- Avoiding Moisture: Store the popsicles away from items with strong odors in the freezer to prevent them from absorbing unwanted flavors. Keep them in a separate section if possible.

Love how easy this recipe is. I didn't have pomegranates so I omitted it, but it still tasted amazing!
