Number Of Ingredients 4

8 stalks rhubarb, cut into 3-inch lengths
8 cups water
1/3 cup sugar, or to taste
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb and 8 cups water; bring to a boil, and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the liquid, add sugar to taste, stirring to dissolve, and allow to cool. Serve over ice with a sprig of mint.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Rhubarb: Choose fresh, firm rhubarb stalks with deep red color and minimal blemishes. Avoid limp or wilted stalks.
  • Prepare Rhubarb Properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces to release their flavor and color.
  • Use a Variety of Sweeteners: Experiment with different sweeteners to achieve your desired sweetness level. Sugar, honey, agave nectar, and stevia are all great options.
  • Steep the Tea at the Right Temperature: To extract the maximum flavor and color from the rhubarb, steep the tea at a temperature between 195°F (90°C) and 205°F (96°C).
  • Chill Thoroughly: Once the tea has steeped, let it cool completely. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it is icy cold.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Enhance the flavor and appearance of your rhubarb iced tea by garnishing it with fresh herbs like mint, basil, or lemon balm.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add other flavors to your rhubarb iced tea, such as ginger, orange zest, or berries. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or lime juice for a refreshing twist.
