Ingredients
  

For the Juice
  • 1 pound Fresh Rhubarb Stalks Trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 6 cups Water
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Or adjust to taste (honey or maple syrup can be substituted)
  • 1 inch piece Ginger Peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 whole Lemon Juice only, optional for brightness
Serving Suggestions
  • Ice cubes For serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine the chopped rhubarb, water, sugar, and sliced ginger in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rhubarb has completely broken down and the liquid is deeply colored.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it steep for an additional 10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Press gently on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids (rhubarb pulp and ginger).
  5. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, if using. Taste the juice and add more sugar if the tartness is too strong. Chill the juice thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Serve the chilled rhubarb juice over ice cubes. Garnish with mint sprigs or thin rhubarb ribbons if desired.

Notes

This juice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a sparkling version, mix half juice with half sparkling water when serving.
