Earl Grey Tea And Lime Ice Pops Recipes

EARL GREY TEA AND LIME ICE POPS

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over tea bags in a jar or pitcher, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
• Remove tea bags, add sugar, and stir in lime juice. Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste and cool mixture to room temperature.
• Drop a lime slice into each ice pop mold. Pour in mixture, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the sticks or tops in and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• Run some warm water over the molds to help loosen the ice pops.

EARL GREY ICED TEA

Steps:

• For the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes.
• For the tea: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the tea bags and lemon slices. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Remove the tea bags and discard.
• Pour the syrup and tea mixture into an ice-filled pitcher. Pour into glasses and add a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with lemon slices and serve.

EARL GREY LIME ROLLS

Steps:

• Place tea in boiling water, and steep for 15 minutes.
• Strain and cool to lukewarm.
• Place yeast and sugar in a large bowl and stir tea into them.
• When yeast has dissolved, stir in butter, salt, lime rind and enough of the flour to form a dough that is hard to stir.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 8 minutes, adding only as much flour as needed to produce a dough that is smooth, elastic and just past the point of being sticky.
• Put in a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
• Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hour).
• Punch down, and divide into 30 small or 20 large dinner rolls.
• Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets, cover with kitchen towels, and let rise until doubled in volume (about 30 minutes).
• Pre-heat oven to 375F (400 at 6000').
• Bake rolls in the center of the oven for 13-15 minutes.
• Brush hot rolls with butter.
• Remove from baking sheets and serve immediately, or place on rack to cool (serve warm for best flavor).
