    Rhubarb Iced Tea

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on May 8, 2007 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Lara Ferroni shared this rhubarb iced tea recipe with us back when she wrote for A Nice Cuppa. It’s a naturally dairy-free, caffeine-free, and unique way to enjoy rhubarb.

    Rhubarb “Tea” I stumbled upon this rhubarb tea recipe the other day in a Martha Stewart Good Things book that I picked up at a used bookstore. My rhubarb is already starting to shoot up like a weed, plus rhubarb is one of the very few local, organic fruits you can find in season this time of year, so I seem to have it in abundance.

    The idea of a fruity iced “tea” from boiled rhubarb sounded too great to pass up. I keep putting the tea in quotes because technically, this isn’t tea at all. It’s just a rhubarb infusion. But, like most herbal teas, served cold, it accomplishes the same task of quenching thirst with a nudge of flavor. The infused rhubarb reminds me a lot of African Rooibus (or red bush) tea, with maybe some extra hints of hibiscus.

    This is a flexible base recipe that you can adjust based on how much rhubarb you have. 1 stalk makes about 1 cup or 1 serving. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only, and does not include cooling time. This is a great make-ahead recipe.
