I picked burdocks from my mother-in-law in the garden and cooked them. I gave my family a drink - I did not expect such a reaction.
Recently I was visiting my wife's parents and my mother-in-law boasted that she had already grown several rhubarb bushes. This is a burdock type plant. In our country, rhubarb is not very popular, but in Europe and the USA, what is not prepared from it and even recognized it as a fruit.
Although the mother-in-law boasted, she did not know what to do with him in such quantity. Therefore, I agreed to help her with its destruction, or rather with the preparation. The weather these days was hot, so first of all I brewed lemonade. Wife tasted.
She first took a small sip and then drank a glass of lemonade in one gulp. I did not expect such a reaction. The lemonade was delicious. Rhubarb gives a pleasant sourness, and citrus juice adds lemonade. Let me tell you how I prepared it.
Step by step recipe for making rhubarb lemonade
My rhubarb and cut into pieces.
I send it to a saucepan, add sugar and water and cook for 10 minutes after boiling.
I filter the broth through a sieve and leave it to cool completely.
The lemonade syrup is ready, but you can make it even better.
To do this, add the juice of one lemon and a couple of oranges.
The lemonade syrup is very sweet and should be diluted with water. Most of all I like cold mineral water with gas.
