Recipe: Rhubarb Lemonade (www.thecuttingveg.com/recipes)
In a large saucepan stir together water, sugar, rhubarb, and lemon rind; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb breaks up. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Strain liquid through fine sieve (or colander). Allow to cool. When ready to serve, mix 3 parts of water to 1 part of rhubarb lemonade syrup. Serve in glass with ice cubes.
Keep Livin’ on the Veg!
