Rhubarb Lemonade

I didn't get any rhubarb flavor from this at all. I double and triple checked the ingredient amounts, but there was no mistake there. We needed significantly more of the syrup per serving to make this taste anything else than sour. And we are people who like sour :) Half a lemon per serving on top of the already sour rhubarb is kind of a lot? This would need either a lot more sugar or a sweeter ingredient that actually cuts and complements the sourness of the rhubarb.

Not enough sugar, in my opinion. The acid is overpowering. Lovely color, though.

Very good thanks !

Delicious drink!

Do you peel the rhubarb for this recipe?

Hiya Vif, no need to peel the rhubarb for this recipe! The skin softens beautifully when cooked and helps give the syrup its lovely pink hue. Just give the stalks a good wash and chop them into pieces 🫶

Very good, mine just did not turn red at all. Thinking I might have a different rhubarb. Still very delicious 😋

This was very tasty! I accidentally burned the sugar-rhubarb-mixture a little bit but luckily it just tasted a little caramelised. The colour was much darker but the drink itself was very flavourful. Will be making this again!

So glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe despite any hiccups with the sugar mixture! Thanks, Lisa 😊

This lemonade is truly delicious, though the final flavor can vary significantly depending on the juiciness of the fruit. I found that it tasted a bit watered down, so I added the juice of an extra lemon and some rhubarb simple syrup I had on hand. To ensure the best taste, try adding the water gradually, stopping when you reach your desired flavor.

Hey Maxine, we're glad you enjoyed the lemonade! Great point! We have added a note to the recipe for others. Gradually adding water to reach the perfect taste is a lovely tip as, indeed, the fruit flavours may vary.
