Ingredients

• 4 cups rhubarb
• 6 cups water
• 0.5 cups sugar
• 2 pieces black tea bags
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 6 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 4 slices sliced lemon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb and 6 cups of water.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rhubarb has softened and broken down.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing down on the rhubarb solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Step 5

Stir the sugar into the hot rhubarb liquid until dissolved.

Step 6

Add the black tea bags to the hot liquid and let them steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard them.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and let the tea cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the tea to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 9

To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the chilled rhubarb tea over the ice.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
