The garbage disposal is broken, leaving me with no desire to cook/create piles of dishes that need to be washed by hand. Until last night when we discovered we could drain the sink by manually turning the blades. Success! (Sort of). And to celebrate? Pink drink!
You will need:*
approximately 1.5 lbs of rhubarb stalks, chopped
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Mix everything in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl, and transfer to your storage container of choice. You can keep the leftover solids to use as a pseudo jam. Store both jam and syrup in the refrigerator.
Here I've mixed the syrup with sparking water, (one part syrup to three parts water? maybe?) but it's supposed to be good with champagne too. I think I will have to check that out this weekend. For science.
