Notes
Raspberry syrup: The exact more detailed recipe is linked above in the ingredient list. To make it, you need 1 1/2 cup water, 2 cups raspberries, 1 cup maple syrup or cane sugar, and 2 tsp vanilla. Simmer everything for 15-20 minutes and strain into a jar. If you want to make a quick version without cooking, mash a few raspberries with a teaspoon of maple syrup at the bottom of your glass. The seeds will stay in the drink but it will still be delicious!
