Rhubarb Shrub

Ingredients

• 200 g rhubarb (preferably red‑fleshed varieties)
• 200 g sugar
• 240 ml apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash, trim, and cut the rhubarb into small pieces. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with sugar, stir well, and cover with a clean kitchen towel.

2. 2.

   Allow the rhubarb mixture to steep at room temperature for at least two hours (preferably overnight), stirring occasionally.

3. 3.

   Strain the rhubarb through a fine sieve, collecting the finished syrup.

4. 4.

   Transfer the rhubarb syrup and apple cider vinegar into a clean bottle, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator. The shrub will stay fresh for several weeks. Tip: Add more sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for acidity to suit your taste.
