Ingredients

  • 1½ cups water (for simple syrup)
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1½ cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice (10 to 12 lemons)
  • 4 cups water
  • Fresh mint, optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized pot, bring water, sugar, and raspberries to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Once the mixture starts to boil, stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Let cool and pour contents in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour through strainer to remove all the seeds.
  • Pour lemon juice, raspberry simple syrup, and water into a pitcher. Stir.
  • Serve cold!

Notes

  • I also like to mash up the raspberries a bit more with my spatula when making the syrup.
