I just recently tried this recipe and it's very refreshing :)
I found it on this blog: http://iheartnewengland.blogspot.com/
Cold Rhubarb Tea
(from Charlie Burke on TheHeartofNewEngland.com)
Ingredients
8 cups rhubarb, cut into 1 inch pieces
8 cups water
Juice and grated rind of one orange or lemon (avoid the white
pith under the rind)
3/4 cup sugar
I pint fresh strawberries, mashed (optional)
Preparations
Simmer rhubarb on the water until tender (20 – 25 minutes)
Strain, pressing on rhubarb with a spatula to extract all the juice.
Stir in the lemon or orange juice and rind;
mix in optional strawberries
Add sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Cool and serve over ice.
Makes approximately 2 quarts

Ooooh, YUM! I'm fixing to make some of this!! My beast of a rhubarb plant has far more stalks than we use in baking, since hubby and I are trying to retain (or rather, regain!) our svelte figures!! haha. Tea sounds wonderful!! I just used up the last of my strawberries, maybe I'll try some of the frozen raspberries I've been saving...
Off to the garden!!

This looks fantastic! I tried a similar recipe this summer for lemonade, using strawberries and rhubarb... it was very good! So I'm sure this tea will be good, too!
