Chocolate Mint Tea Popsicles
Posted on July 02 2021
Chocolate peppermint tea may not be the most common tea blend out there, but it is definitely a tasty one. We used our peppermint and chocolate tea to create this delicious dessert combo without all the additives and sweeteners that many store-bought popsicles include. Whether you’re a chocolate lover looking for new ways to indulge, or a tea lover looking for more ways to get your tea fix, these popsicles have got you covered.
We used one of our very popular teas, Chocolate Mint Oolong, and incorporated other natural ingredients to make a recipe that just might become your proverbial cup of tea, just in popsicle form. Before sharing with your kids, remember that our oolong tea does include caffeine!
