Rhubarb Compote: Add the rhubarb, vanilla (if using), and 1/4 cup cane sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender. Transfer to a glass container or bowl and set in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes to chill while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Lemonade: Add the chilled rhubarb compote to a blender along with the strawberries, lemon juice, remaining sugar, salt, and water. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until smooth. (Note: if you have a smaller blender, use only 2 cups of water, then add the rest of the water to the pitcher in step 2 after straining) Taste the lemonade and add more sugar, if necessary.
Strain: Pour the lemonade through a fine mesh metal strainer or nut milk bag into a large bowl or pitcher; compost or discard any seeds or fibers that do not pass through.
Chill & Serve: Chill the lemonade in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes, then serve over ice or as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
