Chai Tea Popsicles | Tea Recipes for a hot Summer

Now in summer, with the heat work gets a bit tedious and we might run out of breath in the afternoon. In this article, we would like to suggest a fun recipe to enjoy your favourite tea in a very refreshing and energetic way. We suggest delicious chai tea ice lollies.

If you can freeze coffee, why not tea? Besides, as the chefs say, our recipe will be one to make the most of.

A few months ago we showed you how to make chai tea syrup. A homemade concentrate to enjoy this special black tea at anytime. And now in summer we often use it to make incredible chai lattes with lots of ice – a real treat!

So easy and so simple – popsicles

When we make our own homemade syrup, sometimes there’s are some left overs and we came up with the idea of making chai tea ice cream out of it.

No sooner said than done. The result was absolutely delicious, the perfect pick-me-up snack to give us some energy on summer afternoons. And so easy to make. You only need 2 ingredients and just wait until they are frozen.

Do you fancy making them with us?

Homemade spiced black chai tea ice lollies

We had read a few recipes based on freshly brewed chai tea, but syrup obviously makes things much easier. That’s why the first ingredient in our recipe is chai tea syrup. We know there are industrial concentrates available, but there’s nothing like making it at home with an organic quality tea, like Semper Tea’s chai tea.

Plus, you can make it in larger quantities and store it, so you always have it on hand. For example, for these chai tea sundaes (see recipe here).

The second ingredient is milk. You can use whatever milk you like. Cow’s milk, cream or even a plant-based milk like coconut milk.

Then just mix them in a 1:1 ratio or to your taste. Just pour your chai into popsicle moulds and put them in the freezer. A few hours later, you’ll have them ready!

Pretty simple, isn’t it? Believe me, anyone else who loves chai tea or needs a little afternoon pick-me-up will also enjoy these energising tea popsicles.

SEMPER TEA TIPS: If you wish to surprise someone with these chai tea popsicles, try using cinnamon sticks instead of the typical wooden ones. Or – now that fig season is upon us – add a slice to each mould before adding the tea.
