Check this out! Shrubs

Blueberry thyme shrub with soda water.

I recently heard a Seattle blogger discussing shrubs (or drinking vinegars) on the radio. I would highly recommend trying them out! Both the recipes listed in the blog post linked below sound delicious.

As it is currently berry season I tried her recommendation of strawberry basil and blueberry thyme shrubs. There isn't an explicit recipe for those versions but it is pretty easy to switch out the fruit in the recipes provided with two cups of whatever you like. I'm thinking a cranberry version of this would make an awesome gift around the holidays.
