How to Make Rhubarb Lemonade

  1. Combine 4 cups of water, 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, and the zest of 2 lemons in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the rhubarb is tender and easily breaks apart.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 2 lemons.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Allow the rhubarb syrup to cool completely.
  6. To serve, combine 3 parts cold water with 1 part rhubarb syrup.
  7. Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh rhubarb or lemon slices (optional).
  8. Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
