Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Rhubarb Iced Tea.
Step 1
To start your delightful rhubarb tea, bring four cups of water to a vigorous boil in a saucepan.
Step 2
Once boiling, introduce the chopped rhubarb, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for thirty minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 3
After the simmering time, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the tea bags along with fresh mint leaves, infusing the mixture with a refreshing aroma.
Step 4
Cover the pot again and let it steep for another thirty minutes, letting the essence of the ingredients shine through.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a pitcher, mix together the sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice, creating a sweet and tangy base.
Step 6
Once the steeping is complete, strain the rhubarb and tea mixture over the sugar in the pitcher, discarding the solids to leave behind a vibrant liquid.
Step 7
Give it a good stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves completely, ensuring every sip is perfectly sweetened.
Step 8
Finally, pour in the remaining four cups of water, stirring once more to blend everything harmoniously.
Step 9
Serve this refreshing tea over ice cubes, and enjoy a sip of summer in every glass.
