Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) Rhubarb stalks
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 8 leaves Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and chop the rhubarb into small pieces to help it cook evenly.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb softens and breaks down completely.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 5
Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or pitcher and strain the rhubarb mixture, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and refrigerate the rhubarb syrup until chilled.
Step 6
Once the syrup is cold, stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Step 7
To assemble the soda, fill glasses with a few ice cubes. Pour 1/4 cup of rhubarb syrup into each glass and top with 1 cup of sparkling water.
Step 8
Stir gently and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
