How to Make Rhubarb Citrus Punch

  1. Combine 1 pound chopped rhubarb and 2 cups of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is completely softened.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Strain the rhubarb mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Measure 4 cups of the rhubarb juice.
  5. Return 4 cups of the strained rhubarb juice to the saucepan. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and stir until combined.
  6. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  8. Once chilled, stir in 1 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup lemon juice.
  9. Just before serving, gently stir in 4 cups of chilled ginger ale and 1 cup of sliced strawberries (if desired).
  10. Pour over ice and enjoy!
