Directions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your homemade rhubarb lemonade:

  1. Wash and prep the rhubarb: Start by rinsing the rhubarb thoroughly. Chop it into 1/2-inch pieces, ensuring you discard the leaves, as they are toxic. Using a clean knife and cutting surface ensures that your rhubarb maintains its tremendous freshness.

  2. Prepare the lemons: Wash the lemons and use a fine rasp or grater to zest them. This zest will enrich your lemonade with citrusy brightness. Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a handheld juicer or a fork to get every drop. Strain the juice to dispense of the seeds and any pulp, then pour it over the chopped rhubarb.

  3. Create the mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and the rhubarb-lemon mixture along with the lemon zest. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. The tremendous aroma that fills your kitchen will be a preview of the delicious drink to come.

  4. Cook until tender: Allow the mixture to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will know it’s ready when the rhubarb becomes tender and starts breaking down.

  5. Mash and strain: Remove the saucepan from heat. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the mixture to release every last bit of flavor. Let the mixture cool for approximately 10 minutes, then strain it into a large bowl, discarding the solids.

  6. Mix your lemonade: When you’re ready to prepare a pitcher of lemonade, we recommend a 3:1 ratio of water to concentrate: for every 1 cup of rhubarb concentrate, add 3 cups of cold water. Stir well and taste, adjusting the sweetness if necessary.
