VERY TART and VERY REFRESHING! I mixed the chilled syrup with the lemon juice and then used it in individual glasses as I felt like some. I used 6 packets of splenda to a tall glass to give it some sweetness. Next time I may try boiling the lemon zest with the raspberries next time and straining it.
