Earl Grey Tea and Lime Ice Pops

Southerners love their sweet tea, although I've never been a huge fan. These ice pops have a good balance of sweet-tart, but if you're a sweet tea lover, go ahead and add more sugar. Once you taste fresh lime in tea, you may never go back to lemon (I haven't).

Ingredients

• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
• 1 lime, juiced (Optional)
• 2 Earl Grey tea bags
• 6 slices lime (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour boiling water over tea bags in a jar or pitcher, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Remove tea bags, add sugar, and stir in lime juice. Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste and cool mixture to room temperature.

Step 3

Drop a lime slice into each ice pop mold. Pour in mixture, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the sticks or tops in and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.

Step 4

Run some warm water over the molds to help loosen the ice pops.
