How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, the zest of 1 lemon (reserve 2 strips for garnish), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 8 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender.
- Stir in 1 cup of the sliced strawberries and simmer for 2 more minutes, covered.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice.
- Fill stemmed glasses with ice cubes. Pour the lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a reserved lemon zest strip and a few extra strawberry slices, if desired.
