Instructions
0 Muddle blueberries in a small bowl until they’ve significantly broken down and there are no whole berries left. 1 Add granulated sugar and basil leaves, stirring to combine. 2 Place mixture in an airtight container and allow the berries to macerate for 24 hours. 3 The next day, strain the blueberries through a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth squeezing tightly to release as much juice as possible. 4 Add vinegar to the blueberry juice and allow the mixture to chill in the fridge for one week so that the ingredients start to mesh and mellow out together. 5 Serve as desired - I enjoy adding a few tablespoons of my blueberry shrub to soda water, top with fresh blueberries and basil for a refreshing summer beverage!View original recipe
