Ingredients

syrup
  • 1 lb fresh rhubarb, trimmed and sliced*
  • 1/2 cup sugar, or your favorite sugar substitute (adjust the amount according to the package instructions)
  • 3 cups water
soda
  • sparkling water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the rhubarb and sugar in a non-reactive pot. Add the water and stir to combine.
  2. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and boil gently for about 8 minutes. The rhubarb will have given up its color and flavor and will be very soft.
  3. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine mesh strainer, a jelly bag, or cheesecloth. Push gently to get as much of the juice out as you can.
  4. Refrigerate the rhubarb syrup until you are ready to make soda.
