How to Make Rhubarb Iced Tea

  1. Combine 3 cups chopped rhubarb and 3 quarts of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 1 hour, or until the rhubarb is very soft.
  3. Add 4-6 black tea bags (or your preferred type) during the last 6 minutes of simmering.
  4. Remove from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of sugar (or to taste) until completely dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  7. Pour the tea into a 2-quart pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  8. Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh rhubarb slices or a sprig of mint (optional).
