Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing the rhubarb and chopping it into small pieces, about half an inch thick.
- In your clean fermentation vessel, mix the chopped rhubarb with sugar, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour in the water to create a balanced mixture and stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
- Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth or lid, leaving it slightly ajar. Let sit at room temperature for about 3 days.
- After fermentation, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve to transfer only the liquid into bottles.
- Store the sealed bottles in a cool, dark place for approximately 3 weeks to develop flavors.
- After aging, chill the bottles in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Notes
Allowing natural yeasts from the rhubarb to assist in fermentation is key. Monitor the fermentation process closely to prevent over-carbonation. Always use fresh rhubarb and lemons for the best flavor.
