RHUBARB LEMONADE



Rhubarb Lemonade image

I needed to use up a lemon and some rhubarb and after a quick search on the internet, this is what I decided to make. It's tart and sweet and a beautiful pink color. If you want, you can keep the rhubarb pulp after you strain the syrup and add it to some vanilla yogurt or eat it straight out of the bowl. Yummy.

3/4 cup sugar (more or less, to taste)
1 cup water
1 part rhubarb lemon syrup
2 parts water or 2 carbonated water
ice

Steps:

  • Rhubarb Lemon Syrup:.

  • Zest the lemon into the saucepan and add the lemon juice. Add the sugar and enough water to cover the rhubarb (about 1 cup).

  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces.
  • Use a good quality lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best for this recipe. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be too sour.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the lemonade will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the lemonade before serving: This will help to enhance the flavors and make the lemonade more refreshing.
  • Garnish the lemonade with fresh herbs or fruit: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your lemonade.
