Rhubarb Lemonade

Rhubarb Lemonade

Nothing heralds the British springtime quite like the distinctly tart flavour of rhubarb. Mixed with fresh lemon, it turns into a sweet and sour cordial that you can dilute into a refreshing lemonade. By using AquaTru purified water, you’ll preserve rhubarb’s bright, natural tang without any chlorinated or mineral tastes getting in the way. Though humble, rhubarb is known to help lower cholesterol and is rich in antioxidants—an extra benefit alongside the lively flavour. Enjoy it as a cheerful pick-me-up at picnics, in the garden, or simply whenever you crave a taste of spring in your glass.
