Cover the strawberries and rhubarb with boiling water. Allow to steep until the water is cooled to room temperature.

Stir 3–4 times per day. Bubbling should begin to occur within 2–4 days.
After your ferment begins to bubble, strain and transfer to grolsch style bottles. Allow to ferment another 12–24 hours at room temperature.
Refrigerate and enjoy cold.
