Como fazer Rhubarb Shrub
Combine 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup white vinegar in a clean glass jar. Stir well to ensure sugar dissolves.
Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 48 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to fully meld.
Refrigerate the mixture for 7-14 days, checking the taste daily. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavor becomes.
Once the desired flavor is achieved, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Store the strained rhubarb shrub in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy it diluted with water or club soda, or use it as a mixer in your favorite cocktails!
