Benefits of Hibiscus and Mint

Hibiscus: Hibiscus has a pleasant, fruity flavor. Hibiscus is high in antioxidants and vitamin C. Besides supporting the immune system, hibiscus also strengthens hair and skin, detoxes the liver, and aids in weight management.

Spearmint: Spearmint is related to peppermint, but has a milder flavor. Spearmint is good for the nervous system, aids in digestion, and stimulates blood flow.

How to Make Popsicles

Step 1: Brew the tea.

• Measure out the dried hibiscus and dried spearmint.
• Fill the tea pot with water and bring the water to a boil.
• Once the water is boiling, turn the stove off and let the herbs steep for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Add the lemon and honey.

• Once the tea is brewed and cooled down, pour the tea into a large glass liquid measuring cup.
• Zest the lemons and squeeze the juice into the tea.
• Add the honey and mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Fill the molds.

• Pour the popsicle mixture into the molds, cover with the lid and add the sticks.

Step 4: Freeze the popsicles.

• Place the filled popsicle mold into the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours or until frozen solid.

Step 5: Remove from mold.

• To easily remove the popsicles, run warm water over the bottom of the popsicle mold for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles easily.

Storage

Store the popsicles in the popsicle molds in the freezer at all times. Keep the popsicles covered with the lid to avoid freezer burn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to wait for the tea to cool before adding the honey? Raw honey contains beneficial bacteria for the body. If the honey is placed into something that is too hot, the bacteria will die and the honey is no longer raw. Allow the tea to cool to preserve the benefits of raw honey.

Can I use a different kind of mint? Yes, you could use peppermint, but know that peppermint has a much stronger flavor and may not pair as well with the lemon.

Are these popsicles hydrating? Yes! These popsicles are a great way to hydrate your body on a hot day!
