We all loved the rhubarb chilled and topped with double cream yoghurt. Do try the recipe when you can get your hands on rhubarb. We enhanced the colour with a few drops of red food colouring. Use fresh orange juice, it is an amazing pairing with the rhubarb. Discard rhubarb leaves, they contain oxalic acid and are poisonous.
