Rhubarb Soda!

So I am happily finding many uses for Rhubarb these days...in muffins, jams, and my current favorite find homemade soda! Crowd pleaser for all ages and the kiddos think its oh so fun to make your own drink.

Super easy, light, and refreshing. I've enjoyed it as plain old "Rhubarb Soda" or as the alcholic "Ruby June". Rhubarb Soda recipe compliments of the site Culinate and the Ruby June from Soulemama.
