*RASPBERRY GUM SYRUP RECIPE
Bring 1-2 containers of raspberries and 2-3 cups of water to a boil. Strain water into separate container and discard boiled raspberries and seeds.
Measure out remaining raspberry water and add 2 cups of sugar for every 1 cup of water. Make sure to mix when the water is still hot.
Take note—this syrup is thicker than regular simple syrup.
