About This Recipe-

A shrub is also known as a drinking vinegar which has actually been around for a very long time. It was originally a way of preserving fruit. It’s usually made with apple cider vinegar, fruit and sweetened with sugar and becomes a sweet and sour syrup, but our traditionally made balsamic fruit flavored vinegars are an easy probiotic option without the addition of sugar.  A generous splash can be diluted with seltzer water, and can be spiked with a spirit so it’s a perfect alcohol-optional beverage. 

Try mixing this up with Kanoe’s suggestion of Pineapple white balsamic for a “plantation iced tea” and garnish with fresh pineapple, or our peach white balsamic for a peach tea flavor.  You can also use flavored tea to add to the flavor like a mango and black tea, peach and black tea, or lemon verbena for a refreshing twist.
