Southern Sweet Tea Popsicles

When my popsicle molds first came in the mail, I was ecstatic. I pulled them out right away and got to work.  My roommate Dalton loves making sweet tea, at our house we can go through a gallon a day without even noticing.  So of course when I saw the sweet tea in the fridge I figured it was automatically a great idea to make them into popsicles!

I brewed some tea and made sure to make it extra strong because right from the beginning I was worried that the tea flavor may not come through as strong when frozen.  Made sure to put a good amount of sugar in it, because I like my sweet tea sweet dang it!  I poured my extra strong, delicious sweet tea into the molds.  I made sure to soak the popsicle sticks in warm water to keep them from floating for about twenty minutes. The popsicle molds that I bought came with a lid that you can insert the popsicle sticks into and it holds them in place so they don't fall to the side.

One thing that I realized after taking the popsicles out of the mold is that I put the sticks in a little too far into the popsicles.  I had a short little stub of a stick to hold onto - luckily the popsicles were so refreshing and awesome that I could care less.  Definitely a lesson learned for next time though!

These are so so Yummy!!
