Description
A fizzy, tart homemade rhubarb soda made from fresh rhubarb syrup and sparkling water. Naturally vibrant and perfect for warm days.
Ingredients
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Soda water to serve
Ice and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until rhubarb breaks down.
3. Strain the mixture to remove solids and let the syrup cool.
4. To serve, mix 3–4 tablespoons of syrup with soda water over ice.
5. Garnish with mint or citrus slices if desired.
Notes
Rhubarb syrup keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. For a fermented version, combine 1 cup syrup, 4 cups water, and ½ cup ginger bug or kefir water, ferment 2–3 days in a swing-top bottle, and refrigerate after carbonating.
