Rhubarb Iced Tea Recipe

I like to make this delicious iced tea in the spring when rhubarb is in season.

• Meal Type: Beverage
• Ethnicity: American
• Holiday Category: N/A
• Preparation Time: Over 1 hour, less than 1 day

Ingredients

• 3 cups chopped rhubarb
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• Mint or lavender sprigs - optional

Directions

1. Place rhubarb, water, honey and the cinnamon stick in a large pot. Bring to boil. Let simmer for 15 minutes. After 10 minutes, take out the cinnamon stick. Remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour.
2. Pour through a fine strainer without squeezing. It will become cloudy. Refrigerate for 2 hours before tasting. Add the lemon juice to taste, and the sprigs, if you like.
