If you have a good rhubarb crop, then try juicing your rhubarb and making a tangy punch. This one is fine for breakfast or good with a snack. It has an interesting flavor, and is a good change of pace.
 
Rhubarb Punch

•         2 cups rhubarb juice (see below for directions for juicing rhubarb)
•         4 cups water
•         1 1/2 cups orange juice
•         1 1/2 cups grape juice
•         1/2 cup sugar

Mix all the ingredients well in a large pitcher.

Chill for several hours or overnight.

Serve over ice. Rhubarb punch is best when very cold.

How to Make Rhubarb Juice

•         2 cups fresh rhubarb (or 4 cups of frozen sliced rhubarb – not sweetened)
•         1 1/2 cups water

Slice the rhubarb. Put rhubarb and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cut heat and simmer for 20 minutes. The rhubarb should be very soft at the end.

Strain the rhubarb. You can do this with cotton cheesecloth. Just line that in a colander. Put the colander in a big bowl. Pour in the rhubarb mixture. Use a big spoon and mash until the juice goes through the cheesecloth into the bowl.

This should make around 2 cups of rhubarb juice. You can double or triple the recipe as needed. You can also add some water to get closer to the correct measure.
