Instructions
Remove and discard the leafy tops of the rhubarb stalks. Wash the stalks thoroughly.
Chop the rhubarb into small, bite-sized pieces, less than an inch thick.
Place the chopped rhubarb into a medium saucepan.
Add 1 cup of water and 1/3 cup of sugar to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the rhubarb is soft and fully cooked, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to separate the syrup from the pulp.
Pour the rhubarb syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle.
Store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.
