This Rhubarb Simple Syrup was made with a little sugar and water to taste. I mixed about a cup of water and 3/4 cups of sugar with the trimmed and chopped bunch of rhubarb from the share. After boiling for about 20 minutes I strained it. This syrup is great in Mojitos, Lemonade, Seltzer, and whatever other concoctions you can dream up! Even the strained rhubarb held enough sugar to make a tasty applesauce stand-in.
Here’s a little 2017 update! I tried using rhubarb peels that I had collected in the freezer instead of the full rhubarb stalk! The results were just as good! No need to use up the rhubarb to make this simple syrup, and it’s a great use for the peels before they hit the compost!
This simple syrup is perfect in a Strawberry Rhubarb Mojito!
