Before Summer’s over, let’s enjoy every bit of sun and heat left! Here in Chicago it gets so cold that it’s even hard to remember what warm weather is like. That’s why I like to do as many summer activities as possible, including going to the pool with my kids and taking them out for ice cream. It made me think about why not make some with tea, (since everything is about tea for me!) so why don’t I give you some great ideas for tea ice cream and popsicles that you can make at home?

Making your own is so easy and much healthier, and there are tons of recipes out there. In this roundup, I’m listing 15 of my favorite tea ice cream and popsicle recipes which include sorbet, fruit popsicles and ice cream for all tastes and diets.

Most recipes can be done without churning, but if you’re serious about making ice cream & sorbet I recommend you to get an ice cream maker because it makes a huge difference in the ice cream’s texture. 

*NOTE 1: If you want to intensify the tea flavor of what you’re cooking/baking, you need to increase the amount of tea you’re using rather than steep for a longer time. For tea recommendations, check out my favorites.

*NOTE 2: Some recipes below may include raw eggs in their preparation. You can always make the recipe safer and cook them by following this guide.

1- Blood Orange and Rooibos Sorbet


Look at that all-natural, gorgeous color! And that’s not the main feature of this sorbet: IT IS DELICIOUS! Super easy, and everyone loves it. Rooibos and blood orange is a well-tested combo, but I bet you’ve never seen it in sorbet format!

2- Matcha Banana Ice Cream

This is a super simple recipe, healthy and as easy as it gets. Make sure you’re using a good culinary Matcha otherwise you’ll ruin it. You can also try this with Hojicha powder!

3- Earl Grey Ice Cream (No-Churn)

Indulge in this creamy earl grey ice cream. Super easy, no frills.

4- Hojicha Gelato

It’s no secret that Hojicha is one of my favorite teas and I love baking with it (like these hojicha shortbread cookies). This Gelato is on my top favorite list, thank you Candice for this recipe!

5- Peppermint and Strawberry Creamsicles

Although not technically made with tea, these popsicles have peppermint added as an infusion. These creamsicles are perfect to enjoy in the warmest weather! Also in this post, Karlee shows 2 other ways (and recipes) to make tea popsicles.

6- Black Tea Plum Ice Pops

This is a must try. It takes a bit more work but it’s definitely worth it!

7- Masala Chai Creamsicles

A very straightforward recipe to make Masala Chai popsicles. I personally love how coconut milk makes popsicles creamy so you can also replace the heavy cream for coconut milk.

8- Rooibos Tea and Honey Ice Cream

This is a great option for Rooibos lovers and those who want to try something new. Instead of straight rooibos I’d like to try it with a Rooibos and almond or caramel blend, how does that sound?

9- Cucumber Mint Green Tea Popsicles

A different kind of popsicle but oh so good and refreshing!

10- Creamy Matcha Popsicles

This is an amazing recipe, tried and true! Sugar and dairy free. Remember, get a good quality culinary Matcha because it’s a make it or break it kind of thing!

11- Earl Grey Milky Tea Popsicles

Great ‘London Fog’ popsicle recipe (you can make it with or without the jelly bits).

12- Watermelon White Tea Sorbet

I am crazy about (real) watermelon sorbet. I had one in Italy once that was insanely good. Since then, I’m always looking for watermelon gelato to try, so this is a good option to give it a shot!

13- Thai Tea Ice Cream

Thai tea is slightly different from an iced Masala Chai. To make it, ready made thai mixes are mostly used and it’s so orange because it usually has food coloring. It also might contain tamarind, different to masala chai. This ice cream uses a thai tea mix and is so worth trying!

14- Strawberry Green Tea Popsicles

To make popsicles that don’t feel like biting on ice, (unfortunately) you need to add sugar, so don’t skip it. These popsicles are also easily customizable because you can play around with different fruits.

15- Chamomile Honeycomb Ice Cream

Although I’m not the keenest on chamomile tea, I’d soooooo try this one! I’ll do anything in ice cream format and this looks delicious.

Snixykitchen- ChamomileHoneycombIceCream recipe(image credit: snixykitchen.com)

Here’s also a great resource for how to make ice cream from scratch. Since it uses milk as an ingredient, all you have to do to customize your tea flavor is previously steep the milk in the tea of your choice (make sure you brew it strong, meaning you should use double or even triple amount of leaves/tea bags and longer times to steep it).

I hope you enjoyed this tea ice cream and popsicle roundup. I will be making plenty of these recipes, especially before summer comes to an end. I’d love to hear what’s your favorite. Make sure you’re following me on Instagram!

Happy #matchamonday 🍵! ⁣ Afternoon Matcha lat Happy #matchamonday 🍵! ⁣
Afternoon Matcha latte anyone? I just tried Matchabar‘s (@hustle) ceremonial grade Matcha reserve blend and I was very happy with it (#gifted). ⁣
⁣
💚 Super vibrant green, smooth and power umami flavor and sweetness. They source from family farms in Kagoshima.⁣
⁣
Matchbar was the 1st Matcha bar in the USA and got a lot of people into it. They’ve built their brand in a super fun and approachable way but they’re committed to respecting the Japanese tradition of quality and care.⁣
⁣
Do you prefer a Matcha latte in the morning or afternoon? I usually do mornings and prefer straight Matcha after lunch 😉⁣
✨FREE MATCHA SAMPLES ALERT✨(USA only)⁣ ⁣ T ✨FREE MATCHA SAMPLES ALERT✨(USA only)⁣

This is a great chance for all the Matcha lovers 🍵 (and those who’ve never tried Matcha before) to try Matcha for FREE from my friends at @naokimatcha. You’ll get 2 sachets + recipe cards to try out their Superior Ceremonial Blend.⁣
⁣
They have great quality Matcha, and they work with several small tea estates to avoid middlemen. They source from Uji, Wazuka and Kagoshima and develop blends to provide good quality Matcha at fair prices.⁣
⁣

Lemon Verbena 💛 Such a soothing herbal tea!⁣ Lemon Verbena 💛 Such a soothing herbal tea!⁣
⁣
I like to drink it mid-afternoon because it is soothing yet energizing. It is very lemony and it’s very smooth and light. You probably know lemon verbena’s scent from soaps, perfumes, etc. ⁣
⁣
It is a cooling herb and has some properties like fever reducing, digestive tonic, anti-inflammatory and nervous system tonic.⁣
⁣
#gifted by @erda.tea - BEAUTIFUL packaging, organically grown in Napa Valley. They grow several herbs and flowers. Definitely recommend!
Yessss! ☀️ The weather is finally getting bett Yessss! ☀️ The weather is finally getting better and it calls for ‘brighter’ teas.⁣
⁣
I love love love white teas, they were one of my first tea loves. My favorites are Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) and Moonlight White. I love Silver Needle’s  lightness and freshness while I also love Moonlight White’s body, flavor and smoothness (great for colder months too).⁣
⁣
They can contain quite a bit of caffeine, especially Bai Hao Yin Zhen, so don’t be fooled by their lightness... (if you’re interested about this topic, I have a blog post that covers caffeine in White tea)⁣
⁣
✨I know I’ve asked this before but I will do it again, what’s your favorite White tea?
Has anybody else had CRAZY amounts of snow lately? Has anybody else had CRAZY amounts of snow lately? I’ve had enough really... ⁣
⁣
I’m seriously craving these hojicha and black tea shortbread cookies (for recipe, click the link in bio 😉), a huge mug of tea and cozy up in bed with a chunky blanket. Is it too much to ask? 😜⁣
⁣
What do you crave in snow days? What types of tea? And what about food?
💫In case you missed my double Earl Grey Linzer 💫In case you missed my double Earl Grey Linzer cookies, here they are!⁣
⁣
❓Why double Earl Grey? Because they have tea leaves in the batter and are filled with a low-calorie homemade Earl Grey tea jelly.⁣
⁣
⭐️Super easy to make and so delicious! ⁣
⁣

⁣
I’ve been drinking ‘Golden Milk’ for years now and especially turn to it in the winter and during those times I’m not feeling well.⁣
⁣
It is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy and it’s loved and widely used due to its medicinal properties. Within its list of healing properties we can highlight that it is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and aids digestion, between many more. ⁣
⁣
Remember that in order to enhance its absorption, it must be consumed with pepper.⁣
⁣
I totally get that many people don’t like its taste, it might feel bitter or brothy, but in my opinion, the health benefits outweight its taste. Are you a fan of turmeric?

How many different varieties of black tea do you know or have you tried? Flavor profiles vary by region, climate, altitude, cultivation, processing methods, harvesting times etc. (but brewing methods can also affect a tea’s flavor and experience).⁣
⁣
On this blog post, I explore several tea producing countries and regions and talk about the different flavor profiles that we can find in each.⁣
⁣
➡️ Swipe to the end of this post and take the trivia to match the producing country to the tea (answers in comments). How many did you get right?
Adaptogenic Protein Matcha Overnight Oats 🤯 (th Adaptogenic Protein Matcha Overnight Oats 🤯 (this was my breakfast on this #matchamonday) .⁣
⁣
I’ve been eyeing this plant-based protein powder for a while because I love @foursigmatic products and this one has so many benefits! It has 5 mushroom extracts + 2 adaptogens (including Ashwagandha, which I loooove!), it has no fillers, it’s organic and unflavored. If you use protein powders, I can’t recommend this one enough.⁣
⁣
Now, back to my delicious breakfast... I added a scoop of protein powder to my Matcha overnight oats making it a healthy powerhouse 💪🏼🍵💚and oh my it tasted good!⁣
