150g white castor sugar

250ml cold water

1 punnet of raspberries

2 whole lemon cut into 6 pieces

Fizzy water, ice cubes and mint to serve

 

Method

Place the sugar, raspberries and lemon pieces in a blender with the cold water. Puree until fairly smooth. Using a sieve over a bowl push the puree through to remove the seeds and lemon pieces.

To serve: Place the raspberry syrup in a large jug over ice and top up with fizzy water and some springs of mint.

If keeping store the syrup in the fridge for 3 days.
