Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cinnamon stick. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring until berries break down and sugar dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat, cool for 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing berries to extract juice.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 cups cold water and 1/2 cup lemon juice. Cover and chill for 60 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Just before serving, add 2 cups sparkling water and stir gently. Serve chilled with a cinnamon stick for garnish.
