This Raspberry Simple Syrup is a bright, sweet, tart syrup made with fresh or frozen raspberries. It's perfect for matcha, mocktails, sodas, lemonades, and desserts, adding a bold raspberry flavor.
Homemade syrups are amazing alternatives to store bought. They are really easy to make at home, they keep for weeks, if not months, and they taste so much better.
This homemade raspberry simple syrup is WAY better than a store bought syrup. There's real fresh raspberry flavor! It cannot compare to a store bought bottle.
