These bright, floral popsicles come together quickly (using easy to find ingredients) and are the epitome of summer refreshment.

Makes: about 5 3-ounce popsicles
Ingredients
  • For the Popsicles
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can light coconut milk
  • 3 T honey
  • 3 hibiscus tea bags (see note)
  • For the White Chocolate Drizzle (optional)
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ T coconut oil
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, honey and the emptied contents of the three (3) tea bags. Heat, stirring frequently, until mixture just begins to bubble around the edges. Turn off heat, cover and let steep for 10 mins.
  2. Transfer mixture to a high-powered blender and process until smooth.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into popsicles molds of choice (we use these popsicle molds with great success). Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely solid, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. If using drizzle: combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments until completely smooth. (Alternatively, melt together over a double-boiler.) Briefly run popsicle mold under warm water to release popsicles; drizzle each with the melted white chocolate (and a sprinkle more tea, if you so desire), arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and return to freezer until drizzle is completely set, about 10 mins. Enjoy!
Notes
Hibiscus tea is more readily available than dried hibiscus petals, but those could certainly be used here, too. When it comes to hibiscus teas, read the labels carefully. Some are pure hibiscus (obviously!), but some feature additional (sometimes artificial) flavorings. I personally like the blends that feature blackberry or raspberry leaf and lemongrass, such as Traditional Medicinals.

Vegan version: swap the honey for maple syrup and the white chocolate for coconut butter (omitting the additional coconut oil).
