1 tablespoon lemon juice

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the Peaches: Blend the peeled and sliced peaches in a blender until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the peach puree through a sieve to remove any pulp, if desired.
Sweeten the Tea: In a pitcher, combine the cooled brewed tea, honey or sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Combine: Mix the peach puree with the sweetened tea until well combined.
Pour and Freeze: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion. Insert the sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
Unmold: To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.

Variations

Add Fruit: For extra flavor and texture, add fresh slices of peach or whole berries to the popsicle molds before pouring in the peach tea mixture.
Layered Popsicles: To create a layered effect, partially fill the molds with the sweetened tea mixture, freeze for about 1 hour, then add the peach puree and freeze again. This creates a beautiful two-tone effect and a fun eating experience.
Customize the Tea: You can use different kinds of tea based on your preference. Try green tea for a lighter flavor, herbal tea for a refreshing twist, or black tea for a bolder taste.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness based on your preference. Add more or less honey or sugar to suit your taste.

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftover Peach Ice Tea Popsicles in the molds in the freezer until ready to enjoy. These popsicles are best consumed within a week for optimal freshness, but they can be kept longer if stored properly. Just make sure to tightly seal the molds or place the popsicles in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
