Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This recipe is a 2-in-1 kind of deal. Not only does it produce a delicious flavored vodka, it also leaves you with pieces of rhubarb you can serve with tea or use to make a cake, such as a babka.
Now, I don't make the vodka from scratch, but this rhubarb-infused vodka is really amazing - you just have to be patient for a couple months... but then heavenly nectar awaits!
