Notes
- If you dont like your drinks too sweet, start off using 2-1/2 cups of sugar first, then add an additional 1/2 cup of sugar if you feel it isn’t sweet enough.
- The 1/4 cup of raspberries and 4-5 mint leaves are completely optional. Just want to emphasize that they’re just to make the drink more appetizing and to enhance the flavor a little.
- Let the drink chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, preferably 5+ hrs to allow all the ingredients to marry. It tastes best after allowing it to marinate.
