A delicious lemon tea mixed with raspberries.
Bring the water to a boil, then add the dried verbena.
Turn off the heat to low and let it steep for about a half an hour.
Strain the tea and return it to the pan.
Add the sugar and berries and, again, bring it to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer on low, breaking up the berries with a wooden spoon.
Continue to simmer until it's reduced t half - 1-1/2 cup. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
When it's cool enough to touch, pour it into a mesh strainer. Using a wooden spoon, press the berries trying to remove as much pulp as possible from the seeds.
Occasionally scrape the bottom of the strainer. The pulp will stick there a little bit.
Discard the seeds.
Pour liquid into popsicle molds. Depending on the mold, you will get 6 to 8 ice pops.
Freeze for at least 8 hours.
