Rinse the chopped rhubarb under cold water and trim off any leaves.

Let the mixture simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the rhubarb breaks down.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from solids.
Stir in fresh lemon juice while still warm.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
