Equipment

Small saucepan
Potato masher or two forks
Fine-mesh sieve

Ingredients

1 cup raspberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup water

Instructions

Combine the raspberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer and then a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, turn off the heat. Use a potato masher or fork to break down the raspberries. Let the mixture steep for at least 15 minutes.
Place a bowl or measuring cup under a fine-mesh sieve or strainer. Strain the raspberries from the liquid. The liquid is your simple syrup. Allow to cool and then store in a sterile, airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes

As long as it's stored correctly, the syrup should last a few weeks.
You can use thawed frozen raspberries in place of fresh berries, and you don't have to thaw them.
For easy pouring, store in a squeeze bottle.
Make ahead of serving time if possible to allow the syrup to fully chill.
