This recipe comes courtesy of a good friend of mine and www.countryliving.com.  After working with the kids from JUKO this morning everybody was a little worn out.  After chilling for awhile my friend decided to make a cool and refreshing summer drink using what we had in the house and in the gardens.  My friend searched online and then edited the recipe to fit our needs and this is the delightful result.  In the evening I chose to add just a little gin to my glass and it was lovely!
(serves 6)
Ingredients:
5 to 8 stalks of rhubarb (chopped)
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 cups water
1 cup lemon juice
Gin (not required)

Directions:
1.  Put the rhubarb, sugar and water in a pot and bring it to a boil.
2.  Remove the pot from heat and let cool 30 minutes.
3.  Strain the mixture, using something with a very fine mesh.
4.  Discard the solids and refrigerate.
5.  When cool, add lemon juice, stir and serve.
Here is the link to the original recipe, which we have altered somewhat.
