Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) fresh rhubarb
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 cups (for serving, optional) club soda or ginger ale
Instructions
In a large pot, combine the chopped rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb has completely softened and broken down.
Remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or another pot, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the rhubarb solids.
Stir the granulated sugar into the warm rhubarb liquid until completely dissolved.
Add the lemon juice and orange juice to the mixture and stir well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container.
Place the mixture in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it reaches a firm slush consistency. You can stir occasionally during freezing to improve texture if desired.
To serve, scrape portions of the slush into a glass. If desired, top with club soda or ginger ale for a fizzy twist.
Enjoy your delicious Rhubarb Slush from the Farmhouse!
