Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters lemon juice
- 500 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly to remove any dirt, then trim off the ends and cut the stalks into small 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, and granulated sugar.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rhubarb will soften and break down completely.
Step 4
After simmering, remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 5
Place a fine-mesh sieve or a piece of muslin cloth over a large bowl. Carefully pour the rhubarb mixture into the sieve and let it strain. Use the back of a spoon to press gently on the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining solids.
Step 6
Stir the fresh lemon juice into the strained rhubarb liquid to balance the sweetness and add brightness.
Step 7
Pour the rhubarb cordial into sterilized bottles or jars, seal tightly, and allow it to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Step 8
To serve, dilute the cordial with water, sparkling water, or your choice of mixer. Adjust the dilution to your taste preference and enjoy!
