Description

A simple step-by-step guide to making the best strawberry shrub recipe at home. This simple strawberry shrub recipe can be added to sparkling water for a refreshing and gut healthy beverage or added to a summer cocktail or mocktail for a splash of flavor.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 pound chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 pound chopped strawberries
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Wash and chop the rhubarb and strawberries into bite size pieces.
  • Next, in a medium size bowl combine equal parts strawberry rhubarb and sugar. Mix the fruit and sugar mixture well, gently crushing the fruit until a sugary liquid begins to be released from the fruit.
  • Cover the fruit/sugar bowl and place in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.
  • Give the fruit mixture a good mash and then strain the liquid into a clean glass container.
  • At this point at equal parts apple cider vinegar to the fruit syrup. You now have your strawberry rhubarb shrub! Cover and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to six months.

Notes

  • Once your Strawberry Rhubarb Shrub has been made you can use it to provide delicious flavor and a healthy burst of probiotics to your favorite drinks.
  • I personally love adding about an ounce of the shrub syrup to 8 ounces of sparkling water and will top it with one dropper full of my favorite digestive bitters for added gut health benefits, and if I am feeling a little adventurous, I also love to whip up this Seasonal Strawberry Rhubarb Mojito below for a healthy twist on a seasonal cocktail (simply leave out the rum for a delicious mocktail)!
