RHUBARB LEMONADE
I needed to use up a lemon and some rhubarb and after a quick search on the internet, this is what I decided to make. It's tart and sweet and a beautiful pink color. If you want, you can keep the rhubarb pulp after you strain the syrup and add it to some vanilla yogurt or eat it straight out of the bowl. Yummy.

Steps:
- In a saucepan stir together the water, the rhubarb, the sugar, 2 strips of the zest, and the vanilla, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it, covered, for 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the strawberries and boil the mixture, covered, for 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool and strain it through a coarse sieve set over a pitcher, pressing hard on the solids. Stir in the remaining 1 cup strawberries and the lemon juice, divide the lemonade among stemmed glasses filled with ice cubes, and garnish each glass with some of the additional zest.
Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Select firm, deep-red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Rinse the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut off the leaves. Slice the stalks into small pieces.
- Use a good-quality sweetener: Sugar is the traditional sweetener for rhubarb lemonade, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste.
- Add some lemon zest: Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the lemonade. Use a microplane or grater to zest the lemon.
- Chill the lemonade before serving: Chilled lemonade is more refreshing than warm lemonade. Place the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit: Fresh herbs like mint or basil add a nice touch of flavor to the lemonade. You can also garnish the lemonade with slices of lemon or lime.
