The discussion was about a raise facing a bet. But to address the pedantry, to define a string bet or raise for all situations: you would need to have taken a binding action and then try to take another.
So if it's on you and you throw a $25 chip, then another, then another, that's a string bet because you throwing the first $25 is a binding bet.
In the OP no binding action occurred until she announced raise. After announcing raise, she put the amount of the call in, then the amount of the raise (which she had also verbalized) in the pot in one motion.
