Holy Basil & Apple Shrub

Makes about 1 cup of deliciousness.

Holy moly, this shrub is divine. If you haven't heard about shrubs before, they are essentially vinegar-sugar infusions that employ herbs or fruits to impart full-bodied flavor. Shrubs are excellent as cocktail ingredients, or combined with sparkling water for a flavorful natural soda.

Ingredients
3 apples
1 small handful fresh tulsi OR 3 tablespoons Tulsi tisane

1 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup organic cane sugar

Grate the apples and place into a quart Mason jar.
Chop herbs finely (if fresh) and place in jar with sugar.
Pour over vinegar and make sure everyone's covered (add a little more vinegar if necessary).
Store in a dark place and shake daily for 3-5 days.
​Strain and store in refrigerator. Keeps for a long time.
