• 1 oz/30ml Club Soda

Tips

*If you're looking to make your own Rhubarb syrup, then combine 35oz/1kg of washed and chopped rhubarb, 16 fl oz / 500ml water, 1 tablespoon of agave syrup or honey and, if desired, one vanilla bean pod, split.  Bring to boil until the Rhubarb breaks down then stir.  Blend until smooth.
