Ingredients:
- 1 cup fruit (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- Sparkling water (for serving)
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and chop the fruit into small pieces. Place them in a bowl and mix with the sugar.
- Macerate the Fruit: Cover the bowl and let the fruit and sugar mixture sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally. This helps to draw out the juices.
- Strain the Syrup: After 24 hours, strain the fruit mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar, discarding the solids.
- Add the Vinegar: Mix the fruit syrup with apple cider vinegar. Seal the jar and shake well to combine.
- Store and Serve: Store the shrub in the fridge for a few days to let the flavors meld. To serve, mix 1-2 tablespoons of the shrub with sparkling water over ice.
And there you go—a refreshing shrub drink that's perfect for cooling off on hot days!
