What Are Tea Bombs?

Sugar free tea bombs are sphere-shaped candy shells that contain tea. This lovely recipe was inspired by trendy hot chocolate bombs, which went viral on the social media platform TikTok last year. Much like their hot cocoa counterparts, these sugar free tea bombs boast a candy exterior shell that is then filled with tea leaves. Some have incorporated edible flowers, edible glitter or gold flakes for decoration as well. Flowering tea bombs with loose leaf tea are the prettiest so make sure you fill your tea with some tea flowers. But you can pretty much filled your tea globe with any type of tea from green tea, black tea to herbal tea.

Hard Candy Shell

The colorful hard candy shell used for this hot tea bomb recipe is so easy and fun to make. We incorporated a sugar-free sweetener (you can use monk fruit or erythritol or a blend) and monk fruit-based syrup by the brand ChocZero to create these glass-like balls.

The mixture is then heated to form a liquid that is later poured into your silicone candy molds.

Silicone Mold

To create these tea bombs, we used half-moon shaped silicone molds. Silicone molds work best for this recipe since they are virtually effortless to use. In addition, they allow for the glass candy to remove with little to no breakage.

Although this recipe calls for round molds, feel free to incorporate a different shaped mold for this tasty tea bomb recipe. This sugar-free dish is entirely customizable, which allows you to get creative. For example, patriotic star-shaped molds would make for an excellent addition for your upcoming Fourth of July barbecue paired with this festive keto berry bundt cake.

Tips For Making These Lovely Tea Bombs

• Be sure to quickly fill your silicone molds to ensure the liquid does not set. If this happens, it will be much more challenging to work with later.
• Use a small paintbrush to drag the liquid up to the edges. Additionally, swirl the mold around so that the mixture coats all around the edges evenly.
• As the candy starts to harden, reinforce the edges with more liquid candy. As it cools, the liquid tends to pool to the bottom, making the edges thin. Thus, supporting the edges will strengthen them to prevent any damage when removing the sugar-free candy half-moon balls from the mold.
