Leave it to me to pick up on a trend several years later. I recently saw a blog post about a "shrub" and it sounded good. I looked around for other recipes and found quite a few, all from several years back. Macarons are old news too and I only recently tried them. And knitting socks is rather passe too. Well la ti da. I know have three shrubs resting on the kitchen counter (see photo). Strawberry which will probably become Strawberry-Basil in the next step. Mango-lime with nifty-looking-for-now lime slices that will undoubtedly look cruddy after soaking in vinegar for a few days. I have the highest hopes for the third one; Fennel-Apple-Rhubarb because I love almost anything rhubarb. Now I just have to be patient for something like two weeks to find out if they are any good.
Love shrubs. I don't make them, but they are a great alternative to alcoholic beverages. And good for you.
