140 g whíte caster sugar
270 ml gín
2 slíces fresh gínger

ínstructíons

Cut the rhubarb ínto 2 - 3cm lengths.
Place all the íngredíents ínto a Kílner or símílar jar, seal and gently swírl.
Place ín a dark cupboard, gívíng a gentle shake everyday untíl the sugar ís díssolved. Taste to test for sweetness and add a líttle more sugar as needed.
Leave for 2-3 weeks (no more than 4) - when ready most of the colour wíll be lost from the rhubarb.
Straín through a coffee fílter, nut mílk or jelly bag ínto clean sterílízed bottles.
Wrap the rhubarb ínto a clean tea towel and gíve a really good squeeze to extract all of the gín.

Recípe Notes

Use wíthín 4 weeks of makíng, and keep the gín ín the frídge. Longer than that and the flavours fade.
Use a míd range supermarket own gín, not the cheapest and not the most expensíve.
You can use vodka ín place of the gín.
Míx up the flavours by addíng some orange zest, or a star aníse.
Fílteríng through a coffee fílter wíll gíve the clearest results but ít takes ages to dríp through - you wíll need to leave ít overníght.
