Rhubarb Soda
(recipe, Carrie Floyd)
primary-image, l
Introduction
Recently my greed at the farmers' market prompted me to buy more rhubarb than I had time to fashion into tarts or pie. Instead I turned the stalks into syrup, which I then made into cocktails and sodas.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups rhubarb, roughly chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 1½ cups water
- Sparkling water
- Ice
Steps
- Place rhubarb, sugar, and 1½ cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the syrup is bright pink.
- Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Strain syrup into a large jar.
- To make each soda, measure ¼ cup rhubarb syrup into a glass. Add enough sparkling water to fill the glass ⅔ full. Stir to mix, then add ice.
