For this unique shrub, we infused Bernie's Best raw apple cider vinegar with gem marigold leaves and flowers from Feral Heart Farm. We added fresh juice from local meyer lemons along with raw local honey for a zesty, sunny take on the traditional tang of the oxymel (vinegar-infused medicinal tonic).
A shrub is a traditional fruit concentrate, like a syrup, preserved with vinegar and used to make or flavor beverages. A few ounces with bubbly water and a makes a fabulous drink all on its own, and there's no reason you couldn't use it as a cocktail mixer if that's your thing! Shrubs can also add zing to jam or salad dressing, and make a wonderful glaze for grilled meats.
