    Lemonade is a 3 ingredient drink made of sugar, water, and freshly squeezed lemons. Add some freshly chopped rhubarb to it to give a sweet-tangy taste! 

    If you have an abundance of rhubarb in your garden make this Summer Rhubarb lemonade. I just recently updated this post and I must say, that I do miss my rhubarb plant that I had growing at my old house. Whenever all this snow melts I might be planting a new rhubarb plant. The only thing missing is a lemon tree but North Dakota is not a good place to grow those. 

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Lemons -  Take the time and squeeze the lemon juice yourself. Lemons are so refreshing and your house will smell amazing. 

    Sugar - Use reel sugar here. No fake stuff (You can but just figure out the conversions) 

    Rhubarb  -  freshly chopped rhubarb - frozen dethawed rhubarb can also be used 

    Equipment Needed 

    Here are some tools that will help will help you with the recipes. All links will open in Amazon. Yes, I do get some kind of credit.

      Delicious! Thanks for the idea!

      I didn’t have lemons so I used limes and it was still very good! (Looking forward to trying lemons next time.)

      The only other thing I found is my rhubarb had more green pieces than red, so my purée wasn’t as pink/red as I would have liked. (I inherited the rhubarb from my mom who had too much and had already chopped it up, so can’t complain.) But if you want that gorgeous pink lemonade color, try to use more red pieces.
