How to Make Rhubarb Simple Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar.4 Cups Rhubarb, 2 Cups Water, 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the rhubarb breaks down and becomes very soft, about 7-10 minutes.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or container. Carefully pour the mixture through the strainer.
- Using a wooden spoon, gently press the cooked rhubarb to release as much liquid as possible. Don’t press too hard if you want the syrup to remain crystal clear.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to clean jars or bottles.
Notes
Yield: Approximately 3 cups syrup.
Tips for Success
- Use fresh, firm rhubarb stalks for the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking the rhubarb, as it can become cloudy if pressed excessively.
- For a deeper flavor, add a vanilla bean, fresh ginger, or a strip of orange peel during simmering.
- If you prefer a sweeter syrup, add a little more sugar to taste.
