1.Place rhubarb, sugar, water, nutmeg, vanilla bean and scraped seeds in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cool.

2.Strain rhubarb mixture over a bowl and reserve syrup. Place lime and mint in a large serving jug. Crush with a muddling stick or rolling pin to release the juice. Add reserved rhubarb syrup, rum, elderflower cordial and ice cubes. Top with soda water.
