Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped) rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb has completely softened and broken down into a jammy consistency.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 6
Stir the apple cider vinegar into the strained liquid until well combined.
Step 7
Transfer the rhubarb shrub syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
To serve, mix 1-2 tablespoons of the rhubarb shrub with a glass of water, sparkling water, or soda. Adjust to taste and enjoy!
