Iced Lemons with Raspberries and Mint

Iced Lemons with Raspberries and Mint
Recipe Tip
Favorite Fruits
Fruits offer a host of nutrients including vitamin C to accompany their great taste. Be sure to get at least 2 to 3 servings of fruits daily.
Gotta Love Lemons
Lemons should always have a place in your fridge. A squeeze can wake up anything from water to fish. And the zest can add summer freshness to salads or chicken dishes year round.

didnt work
I tried this recipe and followed each step exactly, when i froze the syrup & lemon mixture it separated with the syrup on the bottom and lemon juice on top... the syrup never did freeze and the lemon stuff was really sour, because it separated from the syrup.... looks good but doesn't turn out the same
