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.
