Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Add sugar, water, and raspberries to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened. Do not boil. Reduce heat if needed.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 15–20 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Cool completely, then transfer to a clean jar or syrup dispenser. Label and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Make a Large Batch: Hosting or making multiple drinks? Double or triple the recipe so you always have syrup on hand.
- Try Different Sugars: Swap white sugar with light or dark brown sugar, or demerara sugar, for a deeper flavor and a hint of caramel.
- Adjust Syrup Ratio: Use the standard 1:1 sugar-to-water ratio, or opt for a thicker consistency with 1.5 to 2 parts sugar for a richer syrup.
- Strain for Smoothness: After simmering, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
- Store It Right: Cool, label, and store in a sterilized jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For more extended storage, freeze in ice cube trays.
