Apple-Ginger Shrub

An apple-cider-vinegar shrub spiked with fresh ginger — autumnal and bracing.

Ingredients

• Grated Apple1 cup
• Grated Ginger2 tablespoons
• Sugar1 cup
• Apple Cider Vinegar1 cup

Directions

Macerate 1 cup grated apple and 2 tbsp grated ginger with 1 cup sugar for 24 hours. Stir in 1 cup apple cider vinegar. Strain, pressing the solids, and bottle.

Notes

Apple cider vinegar is the most home-sourceable shrub base. Fresh ginger, not powdered, gives the clean heat.
