Refrshing rhubarb infused lemonade.

  • Easy
  • Budget Friendly

Ingredients

  • 2 long-ish stalks rhubarb, cut into half inch pieces
  • 1 cup water
  • 6- 8 lemons, quartered, preferably remove piths and any visible seeds
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 1 ½- 2 cups water
  • 1 cup ice
  • ¾ cup sugar(more if needed)
  • 2 sprigs mint

Preparation

Step 1

Put the rhubarb in 1 cup water(enough to just cover pieces) and bring to a boil. Simmer until pieces break down and become soft and cooked. Cool.
In a blender put the quartered lemons, lime (peel and all) with the cooled rhubarb mixture and half cup water. Blend on a low setting for just under a minute, allowing blades to crush the citrus. Do not blend longer, blades will grind any remaining seeds, and mixture will become bitter.
Strain this into another container/ large pitcher, clear of any sediment.
Clean out blender jar and pour the strained juice mixture along with remaining water, sugar, ice and one sprig mint.
Blend until sugar dissolves. Add more water/sugar/ice if needed.
Pour into glasses.
Garnish with additional mint.
