- Like hot chocolate bombs, but with tea! These sweet little globes are made with tea-flavored hard candy and filled with tea-infused gummy bears that melt in your hot water! FULL RECIPE & PRODUCTS USED LINKED BELOW!
Tea Bombs Recipe
INGREDIENTS
Shell:
1 cup boiling water
3 tea bags
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup light corn syrup
cooking spray
Tea gummies:
1 cup boiling water
3-4 tea bags
3 tbsp powdered gelatin
Star sugar sprinkles
DIRECTIONS
Make the shells:
1. Place 3 tea bags in a mug and pour 1 cup of boiling water on top. Allow to steep for 20 minutes, until the tea is very strong. Don’t drink it - it will taste awful!
2. Measure out ½ cup of tea and pour it into a medium pot, along with the granulated sugar and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.
3. Set the pot to medium-high heat and attach a candy thermometer. Heat the sugar until it reaches 310F, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and stir until it stops bubbling.
4. While the candy is boiling in step 3, prepare the mold. You can use two different techniques.
- Technique 1:
1. Flip over a silicone half sphere mold and place it on your work surface. Spray it with cooking spray, then gently smooth the spray over the entire surface with a small square of paper towel. Place the mold on top of a sheet of parchment paper and place something underneath the mold, to have it sit at an incline.
- Technique 2:
1. Place the half sphere mold upright onto a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. That’s it!
5. When the candy is ready, pour it into/onto the mold according to the technique.
- Technique 1:
1. Pour the sugar over the spheres, making sure it coats all sides.
2. Wait about 10 minutes for the sugar to start to set, then use a round cookie cutter to make a round seam around the edges of the spheres. This will make it much easier for the sugar sphere to detach from the rest of the sugar. You can repeat this step 10 minutes later, to make sure that the seam hasn’t flattened.
- Technique 2:
1. Pour the sugar into the round molds. Let the sugar sit in the molds for about 5 minutes, then carefully(!!) hold the mold above the pot and turn it upside down, allowing the sugar to pour back into the pot.
2. Place the mold back onto your work surface and use a silicone spatula to smooth the excess candy off the surface. Don’t worry if it looks messy!
6. Allow the sugar to cool and harden completely, about 3-4 hours or up to overnight.
7. Very carefully unmold the shells and set aside.
Make the tea gummies:
1. Add the tea bags to the boiling water and steep for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and add enough hot water to restore it back to 1 cup of liquid.
2. Pour the gelatin into a microwave-safe bowl and pour about 1/3 cup of the tea on top. Stir to combine, then microwave for 10 second intervals, until the gelatin has fully melted. Mix well, then pour it back into the remaining tea and whisk to combine.
3. Pour the mixture into a silicone gummy bear mold and chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until firm.
4. Unmold and set aside.
Assembly:
1. Place one shell onto an espresso glass. This will help it stay in place.
2. Fill the shell with gummy bears. Top with sugar stars, if desired.
3. Brush the edges of the shell with water and press another shell on top to seal.
4. When ready to serve, place the tea bomb in a mug and pour hot water on top. Enjoy!

For all of you who are amazing and have read this far, here is a clue for Tuesday's video: hot chocolate!
This is not a sponsored video.
That's a fabulous idea. I love the translucent look of the tea "globes"
Have you tried Isomelt as an alternative to sugar? It still melts “like” sugar and has a melting point of 160. It’s odorless and has no effect on your sugar levels. It should be consumed in small proportions, so tea bombs are perfect 😍 Its a bit different to cook with than sugar, as sugar can brown and isomelt is crystal clear. You should do some research on it and give it a try. I bet you’ll love it! Try it and let me know 🥰 Hope this helped answer your sugar/sweetness question! Keep up the great videos! I love them ❤️❤️ -Aly
This is what I was looking for! I wanted to make them without having to strain or use a tea bag. Thank you!
Wow how cool! Honestly when this video 1st came up on my feed, I was like yea right.. Wow! I would have never thought of using sugar. So awesome! Then I realized it was our Panko Bunny and was like our girl is smart and sweet🦄🌺🎀
I think it's a brilliant idea of the tea gummies. That is so ingenious. You are very cool, Panko Bunny.
Isomalt is what I've seen others make the shell out of
Your my favorite so far can you do one using splenda
The way it dissolves into water is 😲
Also I love this, that's a cute idea to make the gummies inside the bomb🤗
what a creative idea!! will try this
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Thank you!!!! I’m about to do this!!!
omg let me know how it goes!!
Super creative!
Great sharing 🥰
Thank you 🤗
I think this is a waste of time the way you did both ways! Waste of sugar pouring over & pouring it out. It cools way to fast & it doesn't reheat well. Best way I found is pouring 1 Table spoon in each mold & use a meatl spoon make it even all around each mold
the most original teabomb tutorial ive seen since then
Great recipe!! Wauw!!!
Do you find that the sugar sticks to the bottom? I can’t find a way without it sticking to the bottom
Im a splenda drinker. Can you tell me what I should do
Awesome
How can the teabomb stick with just water? Dont u have to place it into hot pan to stick it?
"Don't drink it, it's gonna taste awful" I've made tea with three tea bags before bc I need the caffeine (and I don't like coffee) XD
Wow!
why not making the tea bombs just with gelatin? the sugar bombs around are unnecessary... just make the spheres with the tea-gelatin like you did with the bears
I might actually try this! Sort of like jello jigglers, molds and all!
Have you tried isomalt?
CUTE
Do the gummy bears dissolve
Yes
Ty for the tutorial! What brand is the gelatin???
I used Knox gelatin. There’s a link to it on Amazon in the description box! 💗💗
How many bears do you use for one tea bombs?
Isomelt maybe?
😃
Please never, ever squeeze your tea bags😭😭 it just add bitterness to your tea!
ohhhhh I had no idea!! Thank youuuuu!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
