Squeeze out the Lemon Juice and Puree the Raspberry
Using a juicer, squeeze out the juice from the lemon and empty it into a cup or bowl. Pour in the raspberry and a little water or lemon juice into a blender or food processor and blend it into a puree.
Note: If you are using the lemon juice to blend the raspberry, do not pour in all the lemon juice.
Sieve the Puree and Combine the Ingredients
Once the mixture is blended into a puree, use a fine mesh to strain the seed out of the mixture. When you are done, add the sugar, water, and the remaining lemon juice to the raspberry puree. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If you desire to add more water, you can but ensure it isn’t too much beyond your desired taste.
