Spiced Orange Vanilla Shrub

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 full sized navel oranges (or blood orange)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup white sugar (can be substituted for coconut sugar or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Peel 5 slices of orange peel from one of the oranges.
  2. Remove the peels of the remaining 2 oranges and slice into pieces until you get about 1 cup of orange slices (peel and pith removed).
  3. Add the oranges into a container with 1 cup of sugar. Mash together until the sugar dissolves and you get a mashed mixture.
  4. Add the cardamom and orange peels and mix well.
  5. Add the apple cider vinegar and vanilla bean paste and mix again.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 days to let the ingredients incorporate.
  7. Remove from the fridge. Remove the peels. Blend the rest of the ingredients to get a smooth mixture.
  8. Strain through a mesh strainer into a container of your choice.
  9. Add 1 oz of mixture for every 4-6 oz of sparkling water to create a soda. Modify the amount based on your preferred taste!
