Ingredients

500 grams Fresh rhubarb stalks
200 grams Granulated sugar
750 milliliters Vodka (neutral flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, discarding any leaves as they are toxic. Cut the stalks into small, 1–2 cm pieces.

Step 2

In a clean, dry 1-liter glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, layer the chopped rhubarb with the sugar.

Step 3

Pour the vodka over the rhubarb and sugar, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

Step 4

Shake the jar gently to help dissolve some of the sugar. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks, shaking it lightly once a week to ensure the flavors infuse evenly.

Step 5

After the infusion period, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the rhubarb pieces and sediment.

Step 6

Seal the bottle, store in a cool place, and serve the schnapps chilled or at room temperature.
