Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- whisk
- Wooden Spoon
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Measuring cups
- Measuring Spoons
- funnel
- Glass Bottle or Jar
Ingredients
Raspberry Syrup
- 1 cup fresh raspberries or frozen
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 tsp lemon juice fresh
Instructions
- Combine the raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the berries soften.
- Simmer gently for 5 minutes, lightly crushing the raspberries to release their juice and flavor.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing gently to extract the liquid while leaving the seeds behind.
- Stir the vanilla extract and lemon juice into the warm syrup until completely combined.
- Cool completely, then transfer into a clean glass bottle using a funnel and refrigerate.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to coffee, espresso, lattes, iced drinks, lemonade, milk, or drizzle over desserts.
Notes
Simmer briefly for a lighter consistency or slightly longer for a thicker syrup without scorching the fruit. Chill completely before making iced beverages. Strain thoroughly for a silky finish. Customize with vanilla bean, mint, or orange zest. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to two weeks and shake before each use.
