Rhubarb already has a high water content. It is very important to dry them well, otherwise it is possible to ferment in the process of maceration with honey.
Cut rhubarb stalks into slices of about 1 cm and add to the jar.
Add the honey to the jar, little by little, in several stages, waiting for it to drain through the rhubarb slices. It is important that, in the end, the honey in the jar exceeds the level of rhubarb slices.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and leave it to soak for 24 to 48 hours in a dark, cool place.
After only 30 minutes, you will notice how the honey extracts water from the rhubarb stalks and a thin syrup forms. After a few hours, it is recommended to shake the jar slightly.
După 24 (sau 48) ore de macerare, veți obține un sirop subțire, dar foarte concentrat și veți observa cum feliile de rubarba au dimensiunile ușor reduse.
Strain the syrup through a sieve.
Finally, the syrup is placed in a container, recommended made of glass, in the refrigerator. It is recommended to be consumed in a week,Observations
Rhubarb syrup with honey obtained by maceration can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. We recommend consumption in 3 days.
Rhubarb syrup with honey obtained by maceration is much more valuable in terms of nutritional values than the classic rhubarb syrup, because it has not been subjected to a thermal process.
Administration
Rhubarb macerate can be consumed both for therapeutic purposes and as a soft drink with plain or mineral water, with a very pleasant taste.
Consume one tablespoon (~ 30 ml) taken as such or in combination with various liquids when you feel the need. However, it is not recommended to exceed 5 servings a day, as it can become a diuretic.
It is not recommended to consume it in the form of juice immediately after a meal.
For therapeutic purposes, one tablespoon before meals is recommended, 3 times a day.
