Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine raspberries and sugar. Mash with a muddler or fork until the berries release their juices.
• Stir in lemon juice and 1.0 cup of the water. Let sit for 2 minutes to help the sugar dissolve.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard seeds and pulp.
• Add the remaining 2.0 cups water and the ice. Stir until chilled, then taste and adjust sweetness or tartness with a little more sugar or water if needed.
• Pour into glasses, add lemon slices and mint for garnish, and serve immediately.
