Ingredients:

  • Campden tablets
  • 3 lb sugar
  • ½ pint strong tea

Method:

  1. Wipe the rhubarb sticks and chop into small chunks. Crush with a rolling pin, avoiding losing any juice.

  5. Boil the sugar in 2 pints of water for 3 minutes and, when cool, mix into the pulp.
  6. Add the tea, yeast and nutrient and cover. Allow to ferment for another 4 days, stirring daily.
  7. Pour carefully into a gallon jar, leaving as much deposit behind as possible.
  8. Fill up the jar with cooled, boiled water to where the neck begins.
  9. Fit a fementation lock and leave until fermentation has finished.
  10. Rack, as necessary, and add 1 Campden tablet after the first racking.
