ROOIBOS RASPBERRY ICE LOLLIES
When it comes to rooibos people seem to either love it or hate it. I haven’t yet come across anyone who would not have a strong opinion about it one way or another. I have a friend who shudders at the memory of being made to drink rooibos as a child growing up in South Africa, where rooibos comes from. She tells me all school children were routinely given rooibos as it’s so nutritious.
If I had been given rooibos as a child I would have only good memories! I love this plant and drink rooibos tea every day!
I have been a big fan of rooibos ever since I first tried it a few years ago. I love everything about it: sweet taste, deep red colour, as well as the fact that it’s all natural, caffeine free and healthy. I like it so much in fact that I think it can be enjoyed in different ways, not just as tea.
So I made these Rooibos Raspberry Ice Lollies.
This recipe is incredibly easy to make and uses seasonal fruit. It does not contain any refined sugar so the ice lollies are refreshing and low in calories. So you don’t have to stop at one!
I asked my son (who has a seriously sweet tooth) if they were sweet enough. His answer was ‘they are just right’. So I know they are. The coconut milk makes the texture silky smooth without affecting the taste very much.
Enjoy!

I am sharing this Rooibos Rasperry Ice Lollies recipe with This is How We Roll Link Party.
- 1/2 cup rooibos tea made using 2 tea bags
- 1 cup raspberries
- 100 g coconut milk
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
-
Place 2 rooibos tea bags in a cup and fill halfway with boiling water. Leave to stand until the tea has cooled, then remove the tea bags. Combine the tea with the other ingredients, puree, pour into ice lolly molds and freeze for 3-4 hours.
I’ve never tried Rooibos tea but we love homemade ice lollies at home. These sound yummy!
Thanks! Rooibos is not everyone’s cup of tea:) but I hope you like it if you ever decide to try it.
