Procedure

  1. Combine the rhubarb and water in a non-aluminum pot. Cook until mushy.
  2. Strain the mixture well, reserving only the juice.
  3. Mix in lemon juice.

Notes, tips, and variations

  • It’s important to use a non-aluminum pot, because when combined with an acidic food like rhubarb, aluminum can impart an unpleasant flavor.

Use

  • For each cup of concentrate, add ⅓ cup sugar and ½ cup grapefruit juice, and chill well.
  • Just before serving, add 1 quart chilled ginger ale and stir well.
