Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water to the tea. Let it steep with the star anise, vanilla bean, and mint leaves. Crush the mint a bit with the back of a spoon to release its oils.
Set aside and let the tea sit until cooled. Strain out the spices and mint from the cooled tea.
Add the condensed milk, the coconut milk, and the lime juice, if using. Whisk to combine.
Taste your finished mixture, and if it's as you like it, fill the popsicle molds, leaving room at the very top for expansion.
