Raspberry Lemonade

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Puree raspberries in blender and then push through fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Combine the berry puree, the sugar water and lemon juice in a large pitcher. Add 4 cups cold water. This will make a strong, tart lemonade. If you want it less tart add another cup of water. Serve over ice cubes. (remember as the ice melts it will dilute the lemonade) If you want to sugar your glass like the restaurants, rub a cut lemon around the edge of your cup and dip in sugar.
