Notes
- SUBSTITUTIONS | This blog is all about making a recipe yours!
- Use leftover simple syrup in iced tea, over ice cream or yogurt, in craft cocktails and mocktails. Refrigerated simple syrup will last indefinitely.
- PREP | Make the rhubarb and simple syrup ahead of time, zest and squeeze the juices and set aside, then assembly comes quickly and easily.
- FRESHEST RHUBARB | When choosing rhubarb you want it to be firm, like a stalk of celery, not limp. Rhubarb varies in colors from greenish pink to deep red, the color is varietal and does not impact the flavor.
- STORING RHUBARB | If possible leave a portion of the leaf on when storing rhubarb. It is best stored in refrigerator crisper drawer, wrapped in a damp paper towel in a vented bag.
- NUTS | Don't like nuts, leave them out or swap them with pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or pistachios.
- BERRIES | No strawbs? Use ripe raspberries, blackberries or even blueberries instead.
- MINT | Not a mint lover or cannot find it, try swapping with fresh basil or even thyme or omit all together.
