- Set the pan aside for mixture to cool and thicken.
- When it has cooled completely, pour the syrup into a fine-mesh sieve with a bowl underneath it.
- Let the mixture drain for approximately one hour, or until the liquid has separated from the rhubarb pulp.
- Store strained syrup in a mason jar in the refrigerator.
- To make the soda itself, put 3 tablespoons of the cooled syrup into the bottom of a glass.
- Top with 1 cup of seltzer water and mix well to combine.
- Add ice to the glass.
