Equipment

Sieve or mesh strainer
Saucepan

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups raspberries
1 cup water
2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

Add all of the ingredients (sugar, berries, water, and lemon juice) to a saucepan and stir to combine.
Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, and set it aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Strain the berry mixture through a sieve, pressing with a spoon to release all the juice from the berries. Discard the raspberry pulp.
Transfer the simple syrup into a glass jar or other airtight container for storage.

Notes

You can use any type of granulated sugar to make simple syrup.
Frozen raspberries can be used in place of fresh berries.
For a thicker syrup, increase the sugar up to 2 cups.
Raspberry simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use it to flavor iced tea, lemonade, cocktails, and mocktails, or top cakes, ice cream, or yogurt.
