Ingredients
syrup
- 1 lb fresh rhubarb, trimmed and sliced*
- 1/2 cup sugar, or your favorite sugar substitute (adjust the amount according to the package instructions)
- 3 cups water
soda
- sparkling water
Instructions
- Put the rhubarb and sugar in a non-reactive pot. Add the water and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and boil gently for about 8 minutes. The rhubarb will have given up its color and flavor and will be very soft.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine mesh strainer, a jelly bag, or cheesecloth. Push gently to get as much of the juice out as you can.
- Refrigerate the rhubarb syrup until you are ready to make soda.
