Recipe for Rhubarb Syrup
This is a Rhubarb concentrate that can be mixed with water/sparkling water to make a refreshing summer drink. It can also be used in the preparation of cocktails and mocktails.
Equipment
- Knives and Chopping board
- Cooking Pot
Ingredients
- 5 Rhubarb Stems ( when chopped, approximately 4 cups)
- 4 Cups Water
- 1½ Cups Sugar
- 1 tbsp Crushed Ginger
Instructions
- Wash the Rhubarb well. Discard the leaves. Then cut it into pieces. You can let the fibrous part stay.
- In a pot, combine water and chopped rhubarb and boil on medium heat.
- As it boils, you will see that foam starts forming and floats on top. Remove it. I was able to collect almost 1/2 cup of it before I could see clear liquid below.
- Add ginger and sugar. Boil on medium heat for about 15 more minutes or until the syrup thickens a little
- Then turn off the heat and let it cool
- Use a fine sieve and strain the liquid. Discard the pulp and transfer the syrup to a clean bottle.
- Keep in the fridge till further use.
- For making a refreshing drink, combine this syrup and water/soda in 1:2 ratio. Add some ice and serve. You can also use this syrup in cocktails and mocktails.
