Other Variations for the Arnold Palmer Popsicle Recipe?

You can also try spicing up the recipe by using flavored iced teas. For a unique flavor, add fresh fruit or citrus slices to the popsicles. For a refreshing twist, herbs like mint or basil can be added to the popsicles.

If you want to switch things up, try substituting the lemonade with limeade or other citrus juices. To make a gourmet popsicle, infuse simple syrups with herbs or fruits. For a frozen Arnold Palmer that is more like a slushie, use crushed ice instead of regular ice cubes. With these variations, you can suit everyone's taste buds.

Note on Popsicle Molds

There are a few important steps to follow to ensure that your popsicles come out perfectly. It's important to freeze the popsicles for at least four hours before serving to ensure that they are frozen all the way through. If you're using wooden popsicle sticks, be sure to soak them in water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the molds. This will help the popsicles to stay together and make it easier to remove them from the molds. When removing the popsicles from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds before taking them out. This will help to loosen the popsicles, making them easier to remove. Once they're out of the molds, you can enjoy your Arnold Palmer Popsicles immediately or store them in the freezer for a cool treat anytime.

Ingredients

Popsicle Mold (linked one just like mine and more options below)

1 16.9 oz Saint James Green Tea (if using regular tea you will need to sweeten)

Trader Joe's Sparkling Lemonade

Sliced Lemons (optional)

Instructions

1. Add sliced Lemon into the popsicle mold (optional but adds detail to the popsicle and a little sourness) and pour Green Tea into the popsicle molds. Add stick and lid to molds. Freeze for 1 hour. If you aren't using a sweetened tea I would add sugar to tea so you have sweetness throughout the popsicle or you can mix the tea & lemonade. I just love the layered look.

2. After Tea has hardened pour in sparkling lemonade slowly. The sparkling lemonade will bubble and need more added so go slow wait and then add more. Return to freezer and let harden for 4-8 hours.

3. Remove from the freezer and quickly run under warm water to help remove from the mold. Serve immediately or put in a container in the freezer until ready to serve!

Now your delicious Arnold Palmer Popsicles are ready to enjoy! This recipe is sure to be a hit with family and friends alike. So don't wait any longer, try this simple recipe and enjoy!
