This is from Delicious Living magazine. It's a nice soda substitute. The original recipe calls for 1 cup natural cane sugar. Use that if you can have it. Prep time does not include chill time. Ingredients:
6 cups filtered water |
1 teaspoon pure stevia (or to taste) |
6 cups coarsely chopped fresh organic rhubarb |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
4 tablespoons lemon juice (scant) |
5 1/2 cups unflavored sparkling water |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil.
2. Add rhubarb; return to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add lemon zest and stir gently.
4. Strain into a bowl, allowing pulp to drain for at least 10 minutes without pressing.
5. Pour liquid into a pitcher and add lemon juice.
6. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. (It can be made several days in advance at this point and kept in the fridge.).
7. To serve, either mix equal portions of sparkling water and juice, or add 5 1/2 cups sparkling water to the pitcher, stir and serve with ice cubes.
