Ingredients in Soothing Chamomile Honey Pops

Here’s what you’ll need to create these calming pops:

Popsicle Base

• Chamomile Tea Bags: The star, bringing a floral, apple-like calm—use high-quality bags for best flavor.
• Water: Hot to steep the tea, creating a strong, soothing base.
• Honey: Natural sweetness with a warm, golden flavor—raw honey adds extra coziness.
• Greek Yogurt: Full-fat for creamy richness, plus a tangy boost that balances the sweetness.
• Lemon Juice: A squeeze for brightness and a touch of zing to wake up the flavors.
• Vanilla Extract: Optional for a hint of warmth—makes it feel extra indulgent.

Instructions

Let’s make these frosty delights:

Steep the Tea

Boil water and steep chamomile tea bags in a heatproof cup for 5-7 minutes—go strong for max flavor. Remove bags and let the tea cool to room temp (pop it in the fridge to speed things up).

Mix the Base

In a medium bowl, whisk cooled chamomile tea, honey, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. Taste and adjust—more honey for sweetness or lemon for tang. It’ll look creamy and smell like a dreamy tea shop!

Pour into Molds

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each nearly to the top. Tap gently to release air bubbles. If your molds don’t have lids, cover with foil and insert wooden sticks halfway through freezing.

Freeze

Pop the molds in the freezer for 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen. Overnight works great for a solid set.

Unmold and Enjoy

Run warm water over the molds for a few seconds to loosen the pops. Gently pull them out and serve immediately or wrap individually in parchment for later. Each lick is pure bliss!
