  • Author: Jordan Cord
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 oz. 1x

Description

Flavored with one of late spring's star ingredients, this simple syrup is easy to make and incorporate into your summer beverage of choice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Clean and chop rhubarb stalks into 1/2" chunks.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring to a boil and then decrease the heat to a low-medium simmer. Continue cooking for 40 minutes to 1 hour, until the mixture thickens.
  4. Allow the rhubarb mixture to cool for 20 minutes.
  5. Using a medium bowl, cut a piece of cheesecloth large enough to fit over the bowl. Pour the rhubarb mixture over the cheesecloth and pull up the cloth to make a balloon around the liquid.
  6. Gently squeeze the "balloon" of rhubarb until all/most of the juice has been extracted.
  7. Store the syrup in a mason jar and refrigerate.
