This strawberry rhubarb syrup uses an optional touch of lime and ginger for extra complexity that will make sodas and cocktails taste like Springtime!
I have a habit of buying rhubarb whenever I see it at the store. LIKE EVERY TIME. It’s a slightly obsession but that also means I have a LOT of rhubarb. Usually that’s not a huge issue. I bake my strawberry rhubarb galette or my strawberry rhubarb buckle. Or I make a big rhubarb berry slab pie for a crowd. But sometimes I buy rhubarb without realizing I already have a bunch in my refrigerator. And I can’t use it that fast! That’s when I whip up this strawberry rhubarb syrup.
How long does this syrup last?
Basic simple syrup lasts quite awhile in the fridge but fruit syrups like this rhubarb strawberry syrup will last about 3 weeks because it has fruit juices that can break down faster. Just store it in the fridge in a clean jar or bottle and make sure to label it with a date so you know when to use it up by.
How do you make strawberry rhubarb soda syrup
The best part of the making rhubarb strawberry syrup is that it’s SUPER easy. Chop up the rhubarb and strawberries and then throw it in a pot with sugar and water. I add a few slices of ginger and some lime zest to give a little extra dimension but those two are totally optional.
Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes then let it cool for 30 minutes. Strain, add the juice of the lime (if you’re using it) and you have the syrup!
