How to make a raspberry simple syrup?
First, place the frozen raspberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice into a medium sized saucepan.
After that, place the pan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Make sure to stir the ingredients until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Next, let the berry syrup continue to simmer for another 9-minutes. If needed, reduce the heat to keep the liquid from coming to a full boil.
Then, once the syrup has cooked down a little, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 15-minutes.
Last, strain the raspberry simple syrup to remove the fruit and seeds. It can be stored in your fridge for up to 7-days in a sealed container.
That’s it, the recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy this syrup and we wish you all the best 🙂
Raspberry Simple Syrup Recipe Tips:
- You may want to strain the syrup twice just to make sure you’ve removed all the solid pieces.
- Try to avoid letting the syrup boil; otherwise, it could stick and burn.
- The longer the simple syrup cools, the more intense the flavor becomes.
- To thicken the raspberry syrup, consider adding a corn starch slurry to the mixture just before it finishes cooking.

I’ve made this a few times and was always incredible . We used for Prosecco, on top of ice cream and in Lemonade.
