Honey and rhubarb are a perfect match; the tartness of rhubarb is a lovely foil for the sweetness of honey. This Homemade Honey Rhubarb Soda is quick and easy. Gin or even vodka can be added to the recipe below for a refreshing early-summer cocktail. I garnish it with peony petals, but any edible flower will do. This drink is also pretty enough to stand on its own.
The idea with this lemonade is to soak the rose petals in the lemon juice, infusing it with a mild rose taste and pleasant rose aroma. This juice then creates a wonderful base for lemonade, which just needs a sweetener like honey or cane sugar syrup and water and or to finish it.
Rhubarb is a classic spring flavor and makes a great pie filling. In this recipe I used raspberries instead of strawberries for something a bit different. I also used some honey to sweeten the filling.
