Homemade Sweet Tea Popsicles

Delicious and refreshing sweet tea popsicles. The perfect homemade popsicle to cool off on a hot day.

Tea Flavored Popsicles

Sometimes popsicles are a snack, and sometimes, they are a dessert. This sweet tea popsicle might even be considered a drink. I love to turn snack time into something fun and refreshing, like with this watermelon shaped butterfly, or Jell-O beach snacks.

For this summer snack, sweet tea is required, but lemon is optional.

If you have a little of the South in your soul, YOU probably love sweet tea. However, having Southern Roots is NOT a requirement for the love of sweet tea. Cool off at a summer party with these Sweet Tea Popsicles. Here’s what you’ll want to do to enjoy these refreshing Popsicles.
