Few things are as comforting as a London Fog beverage (even in light of potentially problematic Brexit news), but this recipe for earl grey tea popsicles takes the tea latte to new and refreshing heights. Created by blogger Erin from Erin Made This, the London Fog Popsicles turn an earl grey latte into a delicious caffeinated popsicle.
You can make your own tea popsicles at home with yummy ingredients including earl grey tea, cream, milk, caster sugar, vanilla bean extract and lemon zest. You could also add edible lavender for a floral touch that will set the tea's bergamot flavor off nicely.
As the London Fog pops contain black tea, they are caffeinated, but not as heavily as similar coffee-inspired popsicles.
