Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh rhubarb stalks
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Vodka (neutral flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, discarding any leaves as they are toxic. Cut the stalks into small, 1–2 cm pieces.
Step 2
In a clean, dry 1-liter glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, layer the chopped rhubarb with the sugar.
Step 3
Pour the vodka over the rhubarb and sugar, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.
Step 4
Shake the jar gently to help dissolve some of the sugar. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks, shaking it lightly once a week to ensure the flavors infuse evenly.
Step 5
After the infusion period, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the rhubarb pieces and sediment.
Step 6
Seal the bottle, store in a cool place, and serve the schnapps chilled or at room temperature.
