Fresh Raspberry Syrup for Drinks
Description
The Fresh Raspberry Syrup recipe begins by boiling water and granulated sugar together until dissolved, then adding rinsed fresh raspberries to simmer for 25 minutes. During this time, foam is skimmed off to keep the syrup clear. After simmering, the mixture is strained to remove seeds and pulp, leaving a vibrant red liquid. This liquid is simmered again for 15 minutes to thicken slightly before cooling and storing.
This syrup provides natural raspberry flavor and sweetness useful for cocktails, lemonades, sodas, or other beverages. Adjusting the base sweetener to a sugar alternative allows for a sugar-free version.
Stored in clean jars and refrigerated, the syrup lasts about a week. Fresh raspberries give the syrup a bright, fresh flavor, making it a versatile homemade addition to drinks.
Ingredients
- 2 cup water filtered
- 1 cup granulated sugar or sugar alternative for sugar free option
- 12 ounce raspberries rinsed, fresh
Instructions
- In a small saucepan add water and sugar and cook on medium-high heat until sweetener dissolves. Add raspberries and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and remove any foam that forms over the raspberries. Simmer for 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain syrup over a clean bowl. Discard fruit (most of the bright red color will be transferred to the syrup). Clean the saucepan or use another and place the red syrup back in the pan. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Cool and strain into clean jars. Keep in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- For a sugar-free syrup, substitute granulated sugar with sugar alternatives like erythritol, stevia, Truvia, or monk fruit.
