Cooking time
2 cups
INGREDIENTS
500 g blackberries (about 3 cups)
330 g (1 ½ cups) white sugar
6 sprigs thyme
1 lemon, zested and juiced
185 ml (¾ cup) sherry vinegar
185 ml (¾ cup) water
METHOD

- Cover and set aside to 12 hours or overnight.
- Strain the syrup and pour into sterlised bottles.
Suggested uses
Pour 2 tbsp of the shrub in a glass, top with sparkling water and ice cubes.
Hints and tips
- A shrub is a non-alcoholic syrup made of fruit juices, sugar and vinegar.
- Sterilise the bottles using the sterilise function on Miele steam ovens. Alternatively steam the bottles upside down for 10 minutes at 100⁰C.
