Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups iced tea (sweetened to taste)
- 2 cups raspberries (fresh or thawed)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Blend Raspberries: Using a food processor or blender, blend the raspberries until they form a smooth purée.
- Strain Purée: Pour the raspberry purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Combine Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the seedless raspberry purée with the sweetened iced tea and water until well combined.
- Prepare Molds: Optionally add a few whole raspberries into each popsicle mold for added texture and visual appeal.
- Fill Molds: Pour the tea and raspberry mixture evenly into the molds, filling them to the top.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness of the iced tea according to your preference before mixing.
- Fresh or frozen raspberries both work well; if using frozen, thaw before blending.
- For an adult version, add a splash of vodka or rum before freezing.
- Ensure molds are properly sealed so no leakage occurs during freezing.
- To unmold easily, briefly run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
