Sorry, I probably skipped a few steps in my explanation :-)
The thing is, this is not a hard cider. The alcohol level in this Nectar de
Rhubarbe is less than 1%. It is actually promoted as an aceptable drink for
kids as well.
So making and diluting (and carbonating) a rhubarb syrup (as someone
mentioned as well) is probably the easiest and most accurate alternative.
