We have a massive Juneberry tree in our yard. The kids and I are going to make Cheong (Korean fruit syrup). Sounds like it will be perfect for eventually making a shrub!
Oh my goodness I haven't thought about Cheong in many years. I lived in Seoul for about 16 months and it's one of the many things I tried when I was there. Now I need to look into Juneberry trees! (just did a quick search and they are also called service berries! I know those!!)
Yummy! Right now my favorite shrub flavor is cherry orange vanilla. I also really like lime to replace the orange sometimes. A little more sharp instead of sweet. I also like this shrub with frozen cherries and half and half in a blender. Easy (and healthier) ice cream!! 😍
I do use orange slices with some of the peel. 🍊I think the peel brings out more of the tart and bitter flavors that work well with the sweet of the flesh and juice. 😍 The lime doesn’t need as much of the peel since it’s such a bright flavor profile already, but the peel still brings more flavor.
I just looked this up I made a beet shrub no recipe no amounts, I tip that jar up every night before bed and drink away. LOL So I needed to really see how a shrub was made and drank. Seems I'm a shot or twp shot kind a gal. thank you.
I have a friend who LOVES her shrub shots! I personally find them a bit strong and like consuming it with soda water, but I don't think there is a wrong way to enjoy a shrub :)
Thank you! Just found your video today. I'm trying a Shrub with Osoberry , honey and a bit of cardamon and cinnamon. Day 1, it seems very tasty. can't wait to see what the end result tastes like.
@@SpiraeaHerbs good morning, I've made two shrubs now and I love the drink they make! Thank you. one was the Osoberry (Indian plum) and the other was from Saskatoon berries ( Service Berry) very refreshing flavors! I use the book, Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast, to identify the plants on our property here in Coastal Washington State. I very much enjoy you Channel, Thank you.
@@LJThorson-gs3wx Wow those are great ideas! Thanks for sharing. So glad you enjoy the channel. Thank you for taking the time to comment and to watch my content.
That's a great question. Shrubs do have a significant amount of sugar, so personally I would keep it to 1-2 tbsp per day. But it really is a matter of preference. I would also pay attention to how your body reacts to the acidity.
Weight would always be more accurate for sure, but my goal with shrubs is to get people making them and have recipes be accessible. Not everyone has a kitchen scale and I recognize that so I try to do volume. However, I have always done my shrubs this way and they are super tasty. And yes it is a lot of sugar! You can cut down, but remembering that the sugar is part of the preservation process. Also when I consume it, I am having only about 1 tbsp in 500ml of flat or soda water. I would not drink them straight personally (due to the sugar content).

That sound so good! Do you just cut the oranges into slices? Keep the peel on? Tell me everything! Lol

Also, I use vanilla extract instead of a whole vanilla bean.
I’m grateful I ran across your channel!! You have fabulous ways of creating delicious~ness!! Love how you like to try different ways as well! Ty!
I am so happy you are here too! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and to say hello. 😍

A perfect video on making shrubs. Thank you. 🌱🌱
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it.
I am new to this. I love the taste of them and it helps me drink my ACV.
Yes it is a lovely way to add in the healing benefits of ACV in a much more palatable way!
Looks much easier than I thought. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
So excited to try this!

Osoberry?! Tell me more! I've never hear of these.

This will be fun to try.
I LOVE shrubs. They are my all-time favourite summer beverage. And if you like to entertain, shrub based cocktails always start conversations.

Thanks for watching!
Do you cover your bowl while it sits on your counter for a few days - in the first step?
Yes I usually do just to keep things like fruit flies and such out. I just put a tea towel over it :)
Can you use dried fruit and herbs?
Dried herbs yes, but I feel like frozen fruit would be a better option than dried.
Is there a recommeneded amount to drink per day?
That's a great question. Shrubs do have a significant amount of sugar, so personally I would keep it to 1-2 tbsp per day. But it really is a matter of preference. I would also pay attention to how your body reacts to the acidity.
Do you ever waterbath can your shrubs and if so, does that process change the flavor profile?
I've never done it! They have a shelf life of at least a year and I always consume them before then.
Hi, I missed if you leave on counter for up to 3-4 weeks after adding the vinegar or keep it refrigerated? Thanks
I keep it on the counter but you can put it in the fridge if you'd like.
Wouldn’t measures by weight be more accurate than volume or does it just not matter? Seems like an awful lot of sugar.
