Ingredients

  • 2 apples shredded
  • 2 inches fresh ginger peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¾ cup water
  • cup sugar of choice more or less depending on how sweet you like things - I used swerve
  • For Serving: sparkling water soda water or prosecco

Instructions

  • Place the shredded apple and ginger in a jar with a tightly fitting lid.
  • Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, water, and sweetener in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sweetener dissolves.
  • Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Pour over the apple ginger mixture. Refrigerate for 5 days.
  • Strain through a fine metal sieve and keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator, covered.
  • To serve, add 2 tablespoons of the shrub syrup to 8 ounces of sparkling water, soda water, or prosecco.

Notes

Note that nutritional information uses swerve and deducts the sugar alcohols from the total.  It includes the apples, which are not actually consumed so it is not entirely accurate.
