Raspberry Cordial

1. 1

   In a medium sized saucepan, combine raspberries and sugar. Cook over medium low heat until raspberries have broken down and sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Use a berry masher or two forks to mash berries completely. Remove from heat.

2. 2

   In another small bowl, squeeze out the juice of two lemons.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, bring 6 cups of water to a boil.

4. 4

   Set a strainer over a large heat safe bowl. Pour the raspberry mixture and the lemon juice through the strainer, pressing on it with a spoon to get all the juices out. Discard what's left in the strainer or eat it with a spoon like I did because it's so good.

5. 5

   Pour the boiling water into the raspberry mixture and stir to combine. Put the bowl into the refrigerator. Chill for several hours before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

6. 6

   This would be fantastic with a little champagne or sparkling white wine mixed in. Or if you really need something strong, vodka.
