Michelle intended to make rhubarb syrup but she was unable to find rhubarb during her groceries shopping for the kitchen. So, she substituted rhubarb with strawberries.

You can find the rhubarb soda recipe here. We used only half of the sugar from the recipe as local strawberries are so sweet.

One of the participant anticipated that Michelle will use strawberries in this kitchen as they are in season. She shared an interesting way of removing the stem and top leaves from the strawberries by using a straw. She just insert the straw from the center bottom of the strawberries and pushes the straw upwards towards the stem. We were all in aw watching her doing this kitchen trick. It’s definitely worth sharing with chowtimes readers.
