Combine the raspberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the raspberries break down.
Crush the berries with the back of a spoon to release their juices, then pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a jar, pressing the solids to extract the liquid.
Let the syrup cool completely before use.
