Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh rhubarb
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice
- for garnish Lemon slices
- for garnish Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb and chop it into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, rosemary sprigs, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Add the fresh lemon juice to the strained syrup and stir to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour 1/4 cup of the rhubarb-lemon-rosemary syrup into each glass.
Top each glass with 1 cup of sparkling water and gently stir.
Garnish with lemon slices and fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.
