For this recipe you will need:
a bottle of cheap gin 700ml
400g of chopped rhubarb
400g of castor or granulated sugar
juice of one lemon
To make the rhubarb gin, first pick or buy enough rhubarb. Then chop the leaves off and discard, and chop the stems into inch long pieces and wash.
Add to a clean glass jar or demijohn, together with 400g of sugar.
Then add the gin
and finally the lemon juice.
Give it all a big swish round
Keep in a cool and dark place for 2 weeks
Then strain the rhubarb off and you are left with lovely pink rhubarb gin.
Already in just an hour the gin has started to turn pink.
You can then make a G&T in the normal way or add a little rhubarb gin to champagne for some extra fizz. Enjoy!!
