Equipment
- glass bottle for storing
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh chopped rhubarb about 3-4 stalks of rhubarb
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Make the rhubarb simple syrup by adding the sugar, water and chopped rhubarb into a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then lower the heat to medium-low and keep at a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Set a strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture through the fine mesh strainer so most of the liquid is in the bowl. *Note: save the rhubarb solids that are strained out as it tastes just like a jam and is delicious on yogurt, oats or toast**
Notes
- Add strawberries: replace half of the chopped rhubarb with chopped fresh strawberries to make a strawberry-rhubarb simple syrup.
- Add lemon or orange peel: add a 2 inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the pot when making the simple syrup for a more tangy flavor.
- Add vanilla: for a little more sweetness in the flavor, add a sliced vanilla bean to the pot when simmering.
- Add ginger: for a spicier flavor, add 1 tbsp chopped ginger to the pot.
