Servings: 8 1/2 Cups
Ingredients
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- The peel from one lemon
- 1 3/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice see notes
- 6 cups cold water
- Lemon slices and fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Add the sugar, lemon peel, and raspberries to a medium sized bowl. Mash the mixture with a fork until the berries are completely pulverized.
- Add the lemon juice and stir. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Press out as much juice from the berry pulp. Discard the seeds and peel.
- Add cold water to the pitcher. Stir and serve.
Notes
- I use about 7 jumbo lemons for the lemon juice. You'll need twice as much from smaller lemons.
