Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 1 liter
Ingredients
- 500 g rhubarb (1.1 lb)
- 2 dl cane sugar (Regular sugar can also be used) (1 cup)
- 1 liter water (1/4 gal)
Instructions
- Clean and rinse the rhubarb thoroughly and cut them into smaller pieces.
- Mix the rhubarb, sugar and water in a saucepan and heat it up to boiling point. Continue boiling for approximately 15 minutes.
- Pour the rhubarb, sugar and water mix through a strainer down into a large bowl. In this step it is difficult to extract all the pulp using only the strainer. If you want a completely clean juice you can use a tea towel (or similar) as a strainer. Use a spoon to squeeze out the last juice from the rhubarb.
- Clean some bottles using boiling water to make sure they are completely clean and that all bacteria are gone. This will extend the shelf life. Pour the concentrated juice on the bottles and keep them refrigerated.
- When serving the juice simply mix the concentrated juice with water or sparkling water in the ratio 1-4. Of cause this can be adjusted as you like.
Good recipe and a great idea when you have a lot of rhubarb from your garden! Tried it tonight–very good! Thanks for posting.

Was looking for an authentic home-made Nordic receipie for rhubarb juice. So happy I found this one! On my way to make my own rhubarb juice with rhubarb from garden :) Fresh & healthy!
I’m happy that you have found one :-)
Could this be canned to make it self stable?
If you make sure to clean the bottle with very hot water to kill bacteria then i think it is self stable.
wow looks awesome. is it healthy? what’s it works?
Hi. Of course the sugar is not healthy but I would not call this an unhealthy drink.
Thanks, I was looking for some general proportions. I’m going to add the sugar after cooking and straining–just so what’s gone for waste isn’t sweetened. I’ll start with a bit less sugar and see if that works, too. I think the sparkling water will make a great beverage.
I would suggest boiling water bath canning these = use sterilized pint jars, and once they are full of juice and sealed, put into a BWB canner (be sure the lids are covered ) and boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them sit in the canner for 5 – 10 minutes, then put the jars on a cloth covered board and let cool. They should ‘pop’ and seal – and then will be shelf stable for a LONG time. Not using the Boiling Water Bath 10 minutes is dangerous if you intend to put the jars on your shelf. OK for a couple of weeks in the fridge
