- 250 grams raspberries

Instructions

- Add lemon juice if desired and blend briefly.
- Strain the juice if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Pour into serving glasses and serve fresh raspberry juice immediately or chill before serving for a few hours.
- For a colder drink, add a few ice cubes while serving.
Notes
- Use ripe and fresh raspberries for the best flavor and color.

- Frozen raspberries can be used instead of fresh berries.
- Add lemon juice only if the berries are not very tart.
- Avoid adding too much water, as it can dilute the raspberry flavor.
