Popsicles made with our calming adaptogen blend: Simmer Down Tonic, lavender, and honey. Dairy-free with coconut milk and naturally sweetened!
Everyone's familiar with the relaxing effects a mug of warm milk and honey can have in helping one wind down at the end of a long day, especially when infused with soothing herbs like lavender, chamomile, or even ashwagandha.
These popsicles are our summertime version of that—a creamy, lavender-infused coconut milk sweetened with honey and spiced with a touch of cardamom and vanilla. Soothing and refreshing, they make the perfect ending to a sweltering day, particularly as they also contain our Simmer Down Tonic, a mixture of relaxing herbs that support the nervous system and help the body better adapt to stress.
Ingredients
To make the popsicles, you will need:
- A popsicle mold and popsicle sticks
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh or dried lavender flowers
- 2-3 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp cardamom
- 1/8 tsp vanilla seed powder (or 1/2 tsp extract)
- 2 tbsp Urban Moonshine Simmer Down Tonic
Directions
- Place the coconut milk and water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, turn off the heat.
- Add the lavender, honey, cardamom, and vanilla to the saucepan. Cover and allow to steep for 15-20 minutes.
- After infusing, pour the mixture through a strainer to remove the lavender. Add the Simmer Down Tonic and mix well.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then fill your popsicle molds. The mold we used makes a total of 6 popsicles, but yours may make more or less depending on the size.
- Place in the freezer for one hour, then add the sticks and continue freezing until solid.
