Print Recipe

This easy homemade brown sugar rhubarb syrup softens rhubarb’s tartness with warm sweetness, perfect for cocktails and lemonade mixers. Ready in about 20 minutes, it adds a delightful twist to your drinks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or a vanilla bean pod

Instructions

  1. Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add the chopped rhubarb, 1 cup water, and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir gently to combine. Add optional spices if using.
  3. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for about 15 minutes until rhubarb is soft and syrupy.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  5. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or storage container. Press the rhubarb solids with the back of a spoon to extract liquid. Discard solids or save for toppings.
  6. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before sealing the jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

If syrup is too thick after cooling, stir in a splash of water to loosen. Use moderate heat to avoid scorching or crystallizing sugar. For a clearer syrup, strain gently without pressing too hard on solids. Store in the fridge up to two weeks or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
