Place sugar, a pinch of salt and 3/4 cup heavy cream in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add tea bags and allow the tea to steep on low for 20 minutes (you’ll notice a change in color). Discard tea bags.
In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup heavy cream and sprinkle the gelatin over the top (do not stir). Let set for about 3 minutes.
Place egg yolks in a heat safe bowl and whisk until smooth.
Remove the cream mixture from the heat and slowly pour half the mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Add gelatin mixture. Cook over low heat.
Stir in butter and whisk constantly until the butter melts, the gelatin has dissolved and a candy thermometer registers 160 degrees F. This should take 5-7 minutes. Do not boil or overheat.
Remove from heat and stir in espresso granules. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer to extract any lumps. Stir in coffee extract.
Pour mixture into 8 popsicles molds. Freeze for 1 hour.
Place popsicle sticks into the centers and continue to freeze until completely set, about 3 hours.
