Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb well and trim off the ends. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1-inch long.
- Sweeten the rhubarb to taste: Rhubarb can be quite tart, so you may want to add some sugar or honey to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired sweetness.
- Chill the rhubarb mixture before freezing: This will help the slush freeze faster and more evenly.
- Use a blender or food processor to make the slush: This will help to create a smooth and icy texture.
- Serve the slush immediately or freeze it for later: If you're serving the slush immediately, simply pour it into glasses and enjoy. If you're freezing it for later, pour the slush into an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
