Rhubarb Champagne...spring tanginess!!

Rhubarb Chamapagne

Great to make with new, young rhubarb shoots. it's an unusual tasting one, not to everyone's taste, and can taste very different from batch to batch. Be careful how you store this, I've had glass bottles explode over me in bed with a cascade of glass and champagne, it gets really fizzy! So plastic is better. 

Ingredients:
1 kg rhubarb
3 cups sugar
6 teaspoons white vinegar
4 litres water
2 lemons


Method:  Cut rhubarb into small pieces; add to large bowl/container.  Slice lemon in strips with rind on it.  Add lemon slices and rest of ingredients to the rhubarb.  Cover and leave for 48 hours stirring occasionally.  Strain 3 times.  Bottle and label.  Leave for two weeks to mature.
