6To make the rhubarb lattice:
-
7Using a vegetable peeler, slice the rhubarb lengthways.Place the water, sugar and rose syrup in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and add 4 slices of peeled rhubarb. Cook until slightly softened, then drain on paper towel. Repeat, until all the rhubarb is cooked. Reduce the remaining syrup.Line up the slices of cooked rhubarb side-by-side on a sheet of greaseproof paper. Fold alternating slices up, and place perpendicular slices over, in a lattice pattern. Repeat until the sheet of lattice is big enough to cover the entire top of the tart.Flip the sheet onto the top of the cooled tart, and peel the parchment away. Trim off any overhang with kitchen scissors. Using a pastry brush, dab the remaining poaching syrup over the lattice to glaze.
