I got this in my email, and tried it today. I prefer mine a bit tart, so feel free to add the 3/4 cup sugar that was in the original recipe.
3-1/2 cups water
1/2 lb rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup sugar, to taste
2 slices lemon, zest of, 3 inches each,removed with a vegetable peeler,plus additional for garnish
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice
In a saucepan stir together the water, the rhubarb, the sugar, 2 strips of the zest and the vanilla, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and simmer it, covered, for 8 minutes Stir in 1 cup of the strawberries and boil the mixture, covered, for 2 minutes.
Let the mixture cool and strain it through a coarse sieve set over a pitcher, pressing hard on the solids.
Stir in the remaining 1 cup strawberries and the lemon juice, divide the lemonade among stemmed glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish each glass with some of the additional zest.
