Rhubarb Soda

By Carrie Floyd, from the Culinate Kitchen collection
Serves 6 to 8
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

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

cups roughly chopped rhubarb
1 cup sugar
cups water
~ Sparkling water
~ Ice

Steps

  1. 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.
  2. Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Strain syrup into a large jar.
  3. 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.

Funny I came across this as I was greedy at the farmers market and had too much rhubarb. My husband made the syrup and then a rhubarb margarita. Beautiful color to the syrup and the marg was pretty tasty. I bet it will be good with some plain ole club soda too.
