Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

150g/5oz caster sugar
300ml/10fl oz water
1 punnet of raspberries
A bottle of prosecco
Put the sugar and water into a heavy pan and place over a low flame.
Stir once or twice and, when the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat to high.
Cook for 10 minutes then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Put the raspberries and cooled sugar syrup into a blender and purée until smooth.
Pass through a sieve to remove seeds. Place in the fridge to chill.
To serve, pour an inch of the syrup into a champagne flute and pour the prosecco on top. Stir gently to combine.
