Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Storage container or bottle

Method
 

  1. Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Place the washed raspberries and 2 cups of water in a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl to separate the juice from seeds and pulp.
  4. Stir in the sugar while the juice is still warm to ensure it dissolves evenly.
  5. Add the remaining 2 cups of water and stir well to adjust the juice strength to your preference.
  6. Mix in the lemon juice, if using, to add brightness and balance the sweetness.
  7. Transfer the juice into a storage container or bottle and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.
  8. Pour the chilled raspberry juice into glasses and garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves if desired before serving.

Notes

For a fun twist, add a splash of soda or sparkling water before serving or garnish with fresh mint for extra flavor.
