Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and chopped rhubarb. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the rhubarb is soft and breaks down.

  2. Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the black tea bags to the rhubarb-water mixture, allowing them to steep for 5-7 minutes. Adjust the steeping time based on your preference for tea strength.

  3. Stir in the sugar while the tea is still warm. Allow the sugar to dissolve completely. Taste and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

  4. Strain the mixture to remove any solids, such as rhubarb pieces and tea bags. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.

  5. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Rhubarb Iced Tea over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

  6. Serve and enjoy.
