Blackberry Sage Shrub

This blackberry sage shrub is cooling, sweet, with subtle herbal overtones -- perfect for summer beverages!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic cane sugar
  • .5-1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaf
  • 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat the berries, sage, and sugar over medium heat until they start to simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to simmer for five minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and cool until room temperature.
