For a deeper rhubarb flavor, use a mix of red and green rhubarb stalks. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Start with ¾ cup and add more to taste. Experiment with different types of tea. Green tea adds a subtle grassy note, while herbal teas like hibiscus can enhance the color and flavor. Rhubarb Iced Tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The color may fade slightly over time, but the flavor will remain delicious. For a sparkling Rhubarb Iced Tea, top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the chopped rhubarb, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, allowing the rhubarb to soften and release its vibrant color and tart flavor.
03
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the tea bags and fresh mint leaves. Cover the saucepan again and let the mixture steep for 30 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse with the rhubarb and mint.
04
StepWhile the tea is steeping, combine the sugar and lemon juice in a large pitcher. (2 minutes)
05
StepStrain the rhubarb and tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the spent rhubarb, tea bags, and mint leaves. (5 minutes)
06
StepUsing a wooden spoon, stir the tea mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. (3 minutes)
07
StepAdd the remaining 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine. (1 minute)
08
StepServe the Rhubarb Iced Tea over ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs or a slice of lemon, if desired.
