Orange Cardamom Shrub

Category
 3 cups Oranges, peeled and sliced
 1 cup Raw Honey (can use up to 3 cups)
 3 cups Raw Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar
 2 teaspoons Ground Cardamom

*Most shrub recipes are a 1:1:1 ratio (fruit, sugar, vinegar). However, I tend to use a little less sugar and it turns out great. You can experiment and see what you like.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1

In a large bowl, combine sliced oranges and raw honey.

2

Muddle the mixture until the oranges release their juices and the honey is well mixed.

3

Transfer the muddled mixture to a large airtight glass container

4

Add ground cardamom and pour in the raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar.

5

Seal the container and let the mixture ferment at room temperature for 2-4 days, releasing any gas as needed

6

Strain the shrub through a cheesecloth, extracting all the syrup.

7

Transfer the orange cardamom shrub syrup to clean jars or bottles for storage.

8

Keep the shrub refrigerated; it should remain flavorful for 2-4 months.

TO SERVE:

  •  Pour a few ounces of the orange cardamom shrub into a glass.
  •  Mix with sparkling water to your liking, aiming for about 1 part shrub to 4 parts sparkling water.
  • Add ice, stir gently, and enjoy the juicy and minty combination!
