Notes
Fresh vs. Frozen Rhubarb. I have only used fresh rhubarb in this recipe, but frozen rhubarb would also work well. Frozen rhubarb is frozen at peak freshness, so it will still have delicious rhubarb flavor!
Choose the Best Stalks. Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and have few to no blemishes. You also want to find stalks that are as deep red as possible, as this will make for a very pretty rhubarb simple syrup.
Add Additional Flavor. If you want to jazz up this rhubarb syrup a little you can definitely add some additional flavors. Mint, fresh ginger, and strawberries would also be delicious!
