Rhubarb Cordial

By treeman

If you enjoy the flavour of rhubarb you will love this unusual drink which is especially refreshing on a hot summer’s day. I'm not entirely sure how much this makes.

Ingredients

• 7 1/2 g gingerroot
• 900 g rhubarb, chopped
• 100 g caster sugar
• 2 cloves
• 1 1/4 liters water
• mint leaf, to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

1 Bruise the root ginger with a rolling pin.
2 Place the rhubarb, sugar, cloves and ginger in a large saucepan and pour in the water.
3 Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the rhubarb is soft, replacing any water that evaporates.
4 Strain well and pour into a warmed glass jug.
5 Garnish with a few mint leaves.
