Sweet Tea Julep Pops combine two Southern favorites-sweet tea and mint juleps. These adult popsicles are bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
2 family-size tea bags |
1 cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves |
1 cup cold water |
3/4 cup bourbon |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
12 (3-oz.) paper cups |
12 mint leaves (optional) |
12 small lemon slices (optional) |
12 (3 1/2-inch) food-safe wooden ice-cream spoons |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and stir in 1 cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves. Cover and steep 10 minutes. Discard tea bags and mint. Stir in 1 cup cold water, bourbon, sugar, and lemon juice, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture into paper cups; add a mint leaf and small lemon slice to each, if desired.
2. Cover each cup with aluminum foil; make a small slit in center, and insert 1 ice-cream spoon into each cup. Freeze 8 hours or until firm.
