Stick
in the mixing beaker, making certain the protective guard is
submerged in the raspberries. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down
motion, moving the blender from the bottom to just under the top of the
raspberries, until the raspberries are blended and completely puréed.
Press raspberry purée through a fine mesh strainer (chinois) using a
wooden spoon or spatula. There will be about 1 cup (250 ml) purée.
Place raspberry purée in a large pitcher with the sugar. Insert the hand
blender in the mixture, making certain the protective guard is sub-
merged in the mixture. Blend, using a gentle up-and-down motion, until
the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice
and blend again until completely mixed, about 15 seconds.
To serve, add chilled water to raspberry-lemon mixture. Serve over ice
and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a thin slice of lemon, and some
fresh raspberries.
