Give yourself a little winter escape with these delicious, dairy free, Mango Coconut Milk popsicles. They have been infused with a selection of herbs that help relieve restlessness and promote sleep. No added sugars.

Ingredients

FOR THE HERBAL TEA
  • 2 teaspoons lemon balm loose leaf tea
  • 2 teaspoons chamomile loose leaf tea
  • 2 teaspoons skullcap loose leaf tea
  • ½ cup boiling water
POPSICLES
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 125ml coconut butter, liquefied
  • ½ cup tightly packed mango (really tightly packed!)
  • 10ml vanilla extract or paste
  • 2 tablespoons xylitol
  • Small pinch of fine sea salt
TO DECORATE
  • Buckwheat groats
  • Coconut yoghurt
  • Coconut threads

Instructions

TO MAKE THE HERBAL TEA
  1. Steep all loose leaf herbs in ½ cup boiling water for 15 minutes, then strain through cheesecloth or a nut milk bag, discard the herbs but pour the water straight into a blender. If you don’t have any herbs, skip this part but add an extra ½ cup coconut milk to the recipe.
TO MAKE THE POPSICLES
  1. Add all ingredients to the blender with the herbal tea, and blend till smooth.
  2. Pour into popsicle moulds. Sprinkle some buckwheat groats over the top as per my photograph if desired (this gives it a nice crunch at the base). Add popsicle sticks and freeze till set.
TO DECORATE
  1. To remove popsicles, run the moulds under hot water.
  2. Dunk the tips of the popsicles in coconut yoghurt, then sprinkle coconut threads over the top. Freeze again till set then enjoy.
