Prep Time

Cook Time

Servings
6-8 popsicles
Ingredients
  • 4 Hibiscus tea bags
  • 1 1/2 cups Fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3 cups Water
  • 2-4 tablespoons Honey or agave nectar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Brew the Hibiscus Tea

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the hibiscus tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool completely.

Blend the Raspberries

In a blender, combine the raspberries and 1/2 cup of the cooled hibiscus tea. Blend until smooth.

Strain the Raspberry Mixture

Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, creating a smoother popsicle texture. Discard the seeds or save them for another use.

Combine Tea and Raspberry Mixture

In a pitcher, combine the remaining cooled hibiscus tea, the strained raspberry mixture, and lemon juice. Add honey or agave nectar to taste, if desired. Stir well to combine.

Pour into Popsicle Molds

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks.

Freeze

Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely solid.

Unmold and Serve

To unmold, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds. Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to release the popsicles. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Important Considerations for Nutrition

These popsicles are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy treat option. They contain natural sugars from the raspberries and optional added sweeteners like honey or agave. Hibiscus tea is known for its antioxidant properties. If you're watching your sugar intake, adjust the amount of honey or agave, or omit it altogether. Ripe raspberries contribute to natural sweetness.
