Rhubarb lemonade with mint

4 servings

65 minutes

Rhubarb and mint lemonade is a refreshing drink that combines the tartness of rhubarb with the subtle freshness of mint. Historically, rhubarb has been used in Europe and Asia as a medicinal and culinary plant, and its sour taste is perfect for lemonades. Boiling the stalks extracts a rich aroma that is complemented by the sweetness of sugar. The chilled drink becomes an ideal companion for summer days, especially with ice and fresh mint added. It not only quenches thirst but also serves as a source of vitamins, improving digestion and body tone. Suitable for any occasion—from picnics to outdoor dinners.
