Rhubarb Soda

I’ve got some rhubarb growing in the garden. I hate to admit to being such a lightweight, but I really do not like to make pie crust without my food processor, which is in NY. Nor do I particularly like rhubarb without strawberries. Except in this recipe for rhubarb soda.

A few good things about making your own soda:

  • it’s not as cheap as buying it
  • you can make it much, much less sweet than commercial soda
  • if you only drink sodas that you make, you’re likely to be fine, because it’s sort of a pain to make them.

Also, this particular soda will only be available to you for a few weeks out of every year (well, unless you freeze rhubarb) but anyway, it has the taste of summer.

{If you’re not averse to alcohol, I recommend trying your rhubarb soda in a seasonally appropriate Ruby June–basically a rhubarb margarita–a deliciously cooling beverage.}

  1. Rhubarb is one of my faves, Rachel! So is soda, and you brought them together today, woo-hoo!

    P.S. I wrote on soda today too, Root Beer. Coincidence? I think it’s more blogosymbioticism.
