If you’re anything like me, you were so excited to make some trees out of cake that you convinced yourself to order a pack of 200+ paper cups. Now, I can only guess at this one here, but I would assume that you too made a cute, edible forest, and are still left wondering what to do with the remaining 175 or so cups that are leftover. Never fear, I have a chilly solution that will please taste buds and tummys alike.
That’s right, more trees! But this time, my evergreens are frozen; green tea freezer pops from My Sweet Vegan, to be exact. They come together in an instant, so they can easily satisfy a sweet craving, and they just happen to be the perfect color without any additional dyes required. Any other sort of popsicle recipe will also work though: Just set the cups in a bunch of mugs like you did for the cake trees and pour the mixture in about 3/4 of the way to the top. Place all the mugs on a tray, and set the tray on a level shelf in your freezer. Let them sit for about an hour or so, until they begin to firm up a bit, and insert the stick into the center so that it stands up straight. Allow at least 4 hours for the pops to completely freeze.
And if you’re still as crazy as me, you’ll think that it’s a pretty cool idea to take the popsicles outside and photograph them in the freshly fallen snow. Okay, so I’m guessing I’m alone on this one, but I just couldn’t resist!
Oh…it’s so cute & adorable ! I love your picture, you are very very gifted !
The imitation snow, what is it ? What is the secret ?
great idea! you’re just so inventive, lady.
Damn! Those look so good. I still can’t find matcha powder =/
Cool papercups! I love your picture with the green icicles :-)
Hannah those are amazing! I have to admit when I skim read this I thought you’d made pea popsicles, not tea popsicles. That’ll teach me to wear my glasses ;)
So enticing.
My favorite flavor!!
Ooooh, those are pretty, and green tea pops sounds delicious! Another reason why I am excited to be getting My Sweet Vegan for Christmas :)
Well I’ll just have to tuck this idea away for warm weather because it sounds so refreshing. We’re in the midst of a record winter storm here in Southern CA – cold and rainy. Makes me want all my food and drinks at mouth-scalding temperatures!
Matcha green tea that’s like an anomaly round here! Your trees look ace, though!
Perfect! And you are not alone. I think taking there picture in the snow is a perfect idea and if I was there I would have helped. :o)
Very creative! You always come up with such interesting presentation.
I could stay hours in front of your photos, they are so pretty! I like this little stage, snow flakes falling on the site !
It’s too cute !
What a great idea. Those are super cute…though it’s a little cold right now for those.
so cute and I love that you took them into the snow for their close-up!!
Another adorable tree. And I love green tea!
Great flavor!!
I love how rich the color of the popsicles are! What a great idea.
Great idea! I love the picture in the snow :)
Yummy!
Loving all these cone ideas!
Christmas tree popsicles, how cute! I’m sure you’ll find a way to use up those paper cups.
