Method

  1. Place the raspberries in a medium saucepan over a medium heat with 300ml water.
  2. Use a speed peeler to strip the zest from the lemons into the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the fruit has broken down. (Don’t let it boil.)
  3. Line a fine sieve with muslin over a large bowl (if you don’t have muslin, you can use a sheet of high-quality kitchen paper) and strain the mixture into a large bowl.
  4. Pour the liquid back into the pan, add the sugar and squeeze in the juice of both lemons.
  5. Turn the heat on to medium-low and stir regularly until all of the sugar has dissolved.
  6. Pour into a 1.2-litre sterilised bottle or jar and drink diluted with water, soda, cava or Prosecco.

Tips

SIMPLE SWAPS
– For a different vibe, try using 600g of strawberries, blueberries, loganberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants or redcurrants in place of the raspberries.
