My thoughts:
I dearest going to the shop together with finding rhubarb again. It is e'er a certain sign of leap to come! Some years I've institute it every bit early on every bit Jan precisely some years due to rhubarb blight(!)I've had to facial expression until Apr which is disappointing, peculiarly if you've been hired to practise a novel rhubarb recipe! Luckily for me, I've spotted these brilliant blood-red stalks a span of times already. I made rhubarb soda a long fourth dimension agone together with it was together with thence good, I idea I'd revisit it amongst a novel twist: mint! I appear to pair rhubarb most oft amongst ginger (like my rhubarb ginger pulled pork together with rhubarb yogurt muffins) precisely I mean value it goes good amongst mint every bit well. In fact my strawberry rhubarb mint jam was the inspiration for this soda. It is together with thence refreshing together with spring-like, it made me forget the snowfall we're existence threatened with.
