Notes
Choosing rhubarb: For a sweeter syrup, use the reddest stalks of rhubarb. Green stalks are more tart.Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month. If it ever looks cloudy or smells off, it's time to toss it. You can always make a new batch! Fresh vs. frozen: It's totally fine to use fresh or frozen rhubarb and/or strawberries.
