Instructions

  1. Wash the rhubarb, remove the ends and any tough strings, then cut into 2 cm pieces.
  2. Put the rhubarb in a saucepan with the water and sugar, then bring gently to a boil.
  3. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the rhubarb is very tender and the water is nicely pink.
  4. Strain, let it cool completely, then refrigerate.
  5. Serve well chilled, optionally flavoured with a pinch of cardamom and decorated with mint.

Variations and tips

Strawberry version. Add 150 g of strawberries with the rhubarb for a sweeter, more fragrant drink.
