Keep cool with this refreshing Green Tea Ginger Shrub
Shrubs, also known as drinking vinegars, are a great way to keep cool during the warm days of summer. Customarily made with seasonal fruit, sugar and vinegar, I decided to experiment with various herbs, spices and Tadin teas! The result was a refreshing spice-infused sparkling beverage.
Shrubs can also be customized to be a flavorful cocktail. Just add a bit of rum or brandy! Whether it’s for an impromptu refresher in your patio or a full-on cocktail party, this green tea ginger shrub will have your guests asking for more.
