The other day I was searching for new ways to use up some extra rhubarb when I came across this tasty looking recipe for lemon rosemary rhubarb spritzers! Erick and I were hosting a Beehive barbeque to celebrate Melanie's upcoming new baby, so I decided that this event would be the perfect excuse to try it out.
First things first, chop up a pound or so of rhubarb.
Then chop up some fresh rosemary. The original recipe called for 3 tbsp, but I used 2 and found that to be enough.
Dump the rhubarb and rosemary in a medium sized saucepan along with the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
After letting it cool for a little bit I strained out the solids with a cheese cloth, then added the juice of 1 lemon. Et voila! You have your tasty simple syrup. To make it into a spritzer, add an equal amount of soda water (or prosecco, or champagne! anything bubbly). Yummo!
Enjoy it with with some delicious food and great friends.
