I have had lots of rhubarb this year. After I harvested it, a week later I now have more growing! So I have been doing lots of experiments. I really love this rhubarb simple syrup! It is super easy to make and is a great addition to drinks and cocktails like my Rhubarb Gin Cocktail. It has a unique and wonderful flavor. If you like making your own syrups try my Cinnamon Dolce Syrup. I love adding it to my coffee.
