Arnold Palmer Popsicles

Directions

1. 1
   Pour sugar into a resealable container. Zest all lemons and place lemon zest in with the sugar. Mix until well-combined. Cover and set aside or at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This will give time to extract the oils from the lemon zest. Juice the lemons and set juice aside.
2. 2
   When ready, heat the water on the stove top to a simmer. Add tea bags and cover, steep for 5 minutes. Remove bags then add lemon sugar and lemon juice to the hot tea. Stir until sugar as completely dissolved.
3. 3
   Pour tea through a find mesh strainer into a pitcher. Pour tea into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 of inch space at the top for expansion. Depending on your popsicle mold, place cover on and sticks halfway into the popsicle. Place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight. Check the popsicles after 1 hour to adjust sticks if needed.
4. 4
   Gently remove frozen popsicles from mold by running mold under warm water and pulling the popsicles straight up. If they don't budge right away, run some more warm water and try again.
5. 5
   To store the popsicles, wrap them individually with a parchment paper and place in a resealable plastic bag.
