Crafted from ripe raspberries, this syrup infuses the drink with a bold berry flavor, lending both sweetness and a vivid hue.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh raspberries

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup water

Preparation:

• Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and water.

• Heat and Stir: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and do not mash the raspberries as it will lead to a cloudy color.

• Simmer: Once the sugar has completely dissolved, let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the syrup to thicken slightly.

• Strain: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. This will remove the raspberry seeds and any pulp, leaving a smooth syrup.

• Cool and Store: Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
