Steps:
- Add rhubarb to water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
- Strain and add sugar to taste; serve iced with mint garnish.
Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Wash the rhubarb thoroughly: Rinse the rhubarb stalks under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the rhubarb into small pieces: This will help the rhubarb release its flavor more easily.
- Use a variety of sweeteners: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten your iced rhubarb tea. The amount of sweetener you use will depend on your personal preference.
- Let the tea steep: The longer you steep the tea, the more flavorful it will be. However, be careful not to over-steep the tea, as this can make it bitter.
- Serve the tea chilled: Iced rhubarb tea is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.
