How to Make Iced Rhubarb Tea

  1. Combine 4 cups of water and 2 cups chopped rhubarb in a large heavy saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender.
  3. Remove from heat and carefully strain the rhubarb mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  4. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  5. Allow the tea to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh rhubarb slices or a sprig of mint, if desired.
