Shrubs are a party just waiting to happen.  They are an old-fashioned way of preserving fruit juice with vinegar. The natural sweet and sour flavors can add so much to your cupboards.  You can add one part shrub to 5 parts sparkling water for a refreshing beverage.  The spices in the shrubs make such interesting cocktails or mocktails.  Also, they can be used in cooking wherever sweet and sour flavors are desired like in a glace, stir fry, salad dressing, or in a raw vegetable salad or coleslaw.  Yum and FUN!  The word Shrub comes from the Arabic word "sherab" which means to drink.  They are really old-school and are really good for us, because drinking vinegar is a health tonic which alkalizes our inner PH! Cheers to good health!
