easy rhubarb

we've discovered a simple drink to make with the fruit that the earth basically gives us for free: rhubarb! jen's mom introduced it to us, we can't get enough, and our boys can't either. here's how we're doing it...

pick and clean about 8 stalks of rhubarb

throw cleaned and chopped rhubarb into a pan with 8 cups of water and let simmer for about an hour or two (sorry, we don't do things to a science)

even the composted bits are easy on the eyes

run it all through a strainer. squeeze in some lemon or lime juice to brighten it and some agave or sugar to sweeten it. we dare to call it bliss.

and yeah, our shop could use some replenishing (still a good handful of stunners in there) but it's these summer days and long hours of sun and light and outdoors that are distracting us. and that's A OK. we'll be back at it soon enough- in the interim enjoy your long summer days.
