Yield Makes 12 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 lb fresh rhubarb stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (10 cups)
2 1/2 cups cold water
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped peeled fresh ginger
About 2 cups sparkling water

Steps:

Bring rhubarb, cold water, sugar, and ginger to a simmer in a 4- to 5-quart pot over moderate heat, uncovered, stirring once or twice, then simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and let steep, uncovered, 1 hour.
Pour mixture through a large fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, gently stirring but not pressing on solids (discard solids; you will have about 6 cups syrup). Chill syrup completely, about 45 minutes.
Serve syrup in glasses over ice with a splash of sparkling water.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh rhubarb. If you only have frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely before using.
To make the rhubarb syrup, you can use white sugar or brown sugar. Brown sugar will give the syrup a slightly richer flavor.
If you don't have a juicer, you can grate the rhubarb and then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to extract the juice.
The rhubarb cooler can be served immediately, or you can chill it for a few hours or overnight for a more refreshing drink.
Garnish the rhubarb cooler with a slice of rhubarb, a sprig of mint, or a lime wedge for a festive touch.
