Make the most of seasonal rhubarb by preserving its flavour in Debbie Major’s easy rhubarb vodka recipe.
- Makes 1 litre
- Hands-on time 5 min
Ingredients
- 600g rhubarb
- 200g caster sugar
- A few strips of orange zest
- 1 litre vodka
You’ll also need
- A sterilised, airtight jar (a clip-sided Kilner-type jar would be ideal)
Method
- Chop the rhubarb into thin slices and put in the jar. Add the sugar, the orange zest and vodka. Seal and store in a dark cupboard for 6-8 weeks (the longer the better), turning or gently shaking every now and then to dissolve the sugar and redistribute the rhubarb. Strain the vodka through a square of muslin, then transfer to a screw-top glass bottle. Serve chilled in shot glasses.
