Strawberry & Raspberry Tea Ice Lollies

Strawberries and raspberries are my favourite summer fruits. They go so well together, especially in smoothies or, in this case, ice lollies! 

For this recipe I have experimented again with tea from my Bluebird Tea Co rep box, this time using a summery tea called Raspberry Russian. The result is a really vibrant delicious and still healthy ice lolly without any added sugar. However, for those who aren't on any special diet like me you can swap the pure stevia for honey or even sugar to taste. And you can use normal white chocolate rather than one made with stevia. 

To make 4 lollies you will need.

100g strawberries - I used frozen 

100g raspberries 

2 tsp Raspberry Russian tea by Bluebird Tea Co (out Sunday 2nd July)

1/4 litre of boiled water 

Pinch of pure Stevia or alternatively honey or sugar to taste.

50g white chocolate - I used Balance white chocolate made with stevia. You can get this at Holland & Barrett and other health food shops. 

Method

Begin by brewing the tea for 4 minutes. Add your sweetener of choice to the brewing tea. I added a pinch of stevia. 

While that brews put the fruit in a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency. 

Strain the tea into a jug, add the fruit. Mix well and pour into ice lolly moulds. Freeze for 24 hours or until set. 

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and drizzle over your set lollies and enjoy! 

These lollies really do taste like summer. They are amazing for a hot summer's day or even for a gloomy grey afternoon pick me up. 

I hope you enjoy them. I would love to hear if you make this recipe and what you think of it!
