earthly delights csa recipe :: rhubarb ginger simple syrup

i'm a fan of recipes that are:

1. crazy easy, and 2. crazy good.

this fulfills both requirements.

:: rhubarb ginger simple syrup ::

{it's a special sneak peek at the beginnings of an earthly delights cookbook}
take a moment to admire its pale pink color.
don't you think it would make an amazing gift?

mix this delicious syrup with bubbly water

for a kid-friendly rhubarb-ginger ale.

mix it with gin or vodka and soda

for grown-ups.

we haven't tried it on vanilla ice cream yet,

although that is highly recommended.

here's how to make it:

1½ cups sugar

1 cup water

2 cups sliced rhubarb

1 cup chopped ginger

simmer water & sugar until dissolved.

add rhubarb & ginger and simmer until soft.

remove from heat & allow to cool.

strain and store in a canning jar in the fridge.

it is oh, so ginger-y.
