My thoughts:

Shrubs are a bang-up means to revisit our colonial yesteryear without the fright of the stockade, trampling horses, dysentery, cholera, xanthous fever, outhouses, or lack of proper bathing.

Shrubs were form of the soft drinkable of the colonial era. They were refreshing inward the hot summertime months as well as the vinegar helped save the drinkable as well as thus they didn't bespeak refrigeration, something hard to come upwardly yesteryear at that time. (I create refrigerate mine because I similar to drinkable it cold). There are diverse ways to brand a shrub exactly this method resulted inward the perfect sweet-tart shrub bursting amongst peach flavor. It equally good yields a surprising amount of shrub considering how many peaches are used as well as how niggling liquid. Honestly, it tasted peachier than the actual peaches (which were real flavorful) did. I intend it is because they basically liquified inward the vinegar during the long soak. At whatever rate, it is amazing.

To drink: add together it to monastic enjoin soda or cold, nonetheless H2O (it is slightly fizzy itself). Historically, it was equally good drunkard amongst night rum.
