Lemon Verbena & Raspberry Ice Pops

A delicious lemon tea mixed with raspberries.

Servings: 6 pops
Author: HelenFern
Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup dried lemon verbena leaves
  • 1-1/4 cup raspberries , fresh or frozen
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
  1. Bring the water to a boil, then add the dried verbena.

  2. Turn off the heat to low and let it steep for about a half an hour.

  3. Strain the tea and return it to the pan.

  4. Add the sugar and berries and, again, bring it to a boil.

  5. Reduce heat and simmer on low, breaking up the berries with a wooden spoon.

  6. Continue to simmer until it's reduced t half - 1-1/2 cup. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.

  7. 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.

  8. Occasionally scrape the bottom of the strainer. The pulp will stick there a little bit.

  9. Discard the seeds.

  10. Pour liquid into popsicle molds. Depending on the mold, you will get 6 to 8 ice pops. 

  11. Freeze for at least 8 hours.
