I may have gone a little nuts, but bear with me. These are GOOD.
Steeped 3 tbsp tea in 1.5-ish cups (organic, 3.5% aka “homo”) milk. I heated the milk, then steeped 5 minutes at a not-boiling temperature. Then I strained the mess, and added in 1.5 tbsp corn starch and 3 tbsp maple sugar. Back on the heat, stirring until it started to thicken. Strained back into my pitcher. Poured into popsicle molds.
SO GOOD. And the texture seems right, too! This is exciting. :D Maybe a little less sugar next time, maybe not. I’ll have to try this with other teas now. I wonder if corn starch works at all with non-milk teas, or if the texture/taste/look would be terribad. I ordered some beef gelatin, so I should be able to try a Jello-style tea popsicle by the end of next week. So excited! :D

(I’d probably use 1 tbsp tea per cup of milk next time. IDK, I was playing and it seemed OK dry but when wet that was a LOT of tea.)
I really need to try that likes this because it’s just been a bit meh so far. (To be fair, I’m not as much into maple as you and Sil!)
Popsicles! :D :D The best way to use up tea if you’re not a fan of cold steeping it. Sadly I’m liking this one less and less. It has a weird taste in the background and I think it’s the base tea. I also thought they made it themselves, but it turns out it’s from a supplier. So. Boo.
(I also have tea ice cream in the freezer, will report tomorrow.)
yeah this one was great the first time i had it and has gotten more meh :(
Ok, well, I’m sorta glad it isn’t just me, but also sad we’re all stuck with it! Hahah.
I’m almost done mine. :) 1 more cup! And the popsicles are really nice. I just had another one…
