Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh rhubarb stalks
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 liter water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 10 cubes ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the rhubarb stalks thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
Chop the rhubarb stalks into small pieces, approximately 1-inch in length.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the chopped rhubarb and water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until the rhubarb has completely softened and broken down.
Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl and carefully pour the cooked rhubarb mixture into the strainer. Allow the juice to drain completely, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Return the strained liquid to the pot and add the granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Bring the sweetened juice to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the lemon juice and let the rhubarb juice cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer to a clean bottle or jug and refrigerate until chilled.
To serve, pour the chilled rhubarb juice over glasses filled with ice cubes. Optional: garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for extra flair.
Enjoy your homemade rhubarb juice!
