For my birthday, I decided not to cook... But I did get myself a sweet little treat from the Farmer's Market.
It's called Shrub. I chose strawberry flavor. This was your choice for a sweet refreshment back in the colonial days.
Shrub is actually a drink that is flavored with fruit and spices, preserved with vinegar, sweetened with sugar and served in cold water. I mixed 1 oz of it with a glass full of seltzer water just to get a little fizz and it was like my very own, all-natural, old fashioned soda. You can smell a slight hint of vinegar, and there is a teeny aftertaste of it, but overall it's pretty good if you let it grow on you!
Not many places make shrub, and this company is from State College, PA. http://www.taitfarmfoods.com/recipes
Next time, I'll need to try this with some wine or champagne!
