- Fill Molds: Using a silicone mold, fill each cavity with approximately 1 teaspoon of the mixture, pressing it down evenly to ensure a compact form.
- Add Tea: Sprinkle green tea leaves on top of each filled mold cavity and gently press them into the mixture to embed the tea.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours or until the tea bombs are fully solidified and firm to the touch.
