The pros outweigh the cons, therefore, everyone should love rhubarb.
Strawberries have a much easier life than rhubarb.
This lemonade is SO good, and it’s easy to make. You’re going to cook water, sugar, rhubarb, strawberries and lemon peel until tender. When tender, the liquid fruity juice syrup is strained out. Fresh lemon juice is stirred into the juice mixture.
And um, that’s it. It’s lemonade, so that’s about as complicated as I can make it.
Makes this!! It will be refreshing and delicious on a hot summer day.
