Discover how to make a refreshing non-alcoholic 'drinking vinegar' known as a shrub. This peach shrub syrup balances sweetness and acidity, perfect for mixing with sparkling water or club soda for a delightful drink.
Bring the chopped peaches and granulated sugar to a boil on the stovetop. Let the peaches cook down until the mixture is thick and the peaches are almost completely broken down. Strain the cooked peaches through a fine mesh sieve to separate the pulp from the peach syrup. You should yield about 1 ½ cups of syrup. To the peach syrup, add one cup of apple cider vinegar and stir well. Let the syrup cool completely, then store it in the fridge until you're ready to use it in your favorite drinks. For a recommended serving, mix one part peach shrub syrup with two parts lemon-lime sparkling water, adjusting to taste.
