Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down completely.
  • Stir in lemon juice, if using.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for about 20 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bowl, pressing down gently to extract the liquid (don’t force solids through).
  • Store syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
