With its vibrant colour this drink is lovely and festive at Christmas time, and was one of my mother's many favoured recipes…she has so many, and I yet have to cook/convert them all.
I love this drink year round, but of course, seasonally is always best. Don't throw away the cooked rhubarb, use it in a pie or with custard, ice cream and/or whipped cream!
BENEFITS:
Rhubarb is rich in antioxidants and fiber, promoting digestive health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, it contains vitamin K, supporting bone health and in the prevention of blood clotting.
