What is a Shrub?
A shrub is a concentrated syrup that is made with a combination of fruit, sugar, and vinegar. The syrup can be added to mixed drinks or club soda.
🧾 Ingredients
- Blackberries: I used fresh berries. You could use either fresh or frozen.
- Sugar: I used white sugar because that's a key ingredient in a shrub.
- Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar but you could also use rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
