These white tea plum popsicles promote weight loss and boost immunity thanks to white tea, a fruity, delicate tea that has so many nutritional benefits, even more than green tea.
White tea plum popsicles are freshing and healthy, and easy to make. The white tea gives them huge amounts of antioxidants, higher than green tea! Helps boost cardiovascular health, lower cholesterol, and promote weight loss. Plus, isn't white tea so pretty, when not steeped?
Why You'll Love This Recipe
White tea nutrition: White tea not only adds antioxidants, but also boosts cardio vascular health, lowers cholesterol and promotes weight loss. Pretty good for a popsicle.
Fruity and fresh: Thanks to the plums, these popsicles are sweet and delicious and full of fiber. Something about the sweet flavor of plums really elevates the bright herbal flavor of white tea. I also tossed citrus-tasting baobab into this recipe to increase the immunity power.
Ingredients
White tea. Make two cups using a quality tea bag or loose leaf. Allow to cool.
Lemon juice. Add to brighten the flavor and to add vitamin c to the popsicles.
Maple syrup. Or use your favorite liquid sweetener. If your plums are sweet enough, you may decide to forgo the syrup. Taste the popsicle mixture before freezing.
Plums. Use fresh, and choose either a mix of red and black, or whatever is in season for you. The sweeter the plums, the sweeter your popsicles.
Baobab powder. One of my favorite supplements for vitamin C. It has a citrus flavor but of course is optional.
Steps to Make
Step 1: Make the white tea: Steep two cups with tea bags or loose tea. Allow to cool.
Step 2: Prep plums: Wash, pit. Some will be chopped to blend with the tea, some will be sliced to add whole to each popsicle well.
Step 3: Blend up the ingredients, and pour into the molds. Poke a plum slice or two into each well.
Step 4: Freeze and enjoy!
Substitutions
The plums can be substituted for another stone fruit or even clementines.
The maple syrup can be left off, or swapped for another liquid sweetener.
