Herbal Pops for Kids

Herbal pops are a fun and easy way to get a child to take his or her prescribed tea formula. They are refreshing in the summertime and provide the wonderful healing properties of the herbs in a delicious and fun form. Because they are so cold, I do not recommend them for cold types of imbalances such as flu, colic, ear infections, or respiratory infections. The cold makes them excellent for teething babies, however. 

To make herbal pops:

1. Make a strong tea by using 3 to 9 tablespoons of herb per cup of hot water. Strain.
2. Dilute the tea with an equal amount of apple juice or any other favorite juice. 
3. Pour into ice-pop trays; freeze.
