Cover and leave to infuse for 5-10 mins depending on your preference of strength of flavor. Take out the tea bag. Add the honey and allow the tea to cool Place tea in a blender along with lime juice, mint leaves and honey. Once blended you can either pour as it is into the popsicle molds of you can sieve and then pour. Optional is to add a mint leaf into the bottom of the mold before you pour in the mixture.
