Preparation
Mix together and let sit in a sealed container for two days at room temperature. After two days, place in the fridge for a couple days to a week, until it gets the taste you like. I mixed a splash of my raspberry shrub with sparkling water for a fizzy, sweet and sour probiotic drink. Enjoy!
