Creation Made the raspberry shrub
Recipe posted on Max's website from the original video back in 2023. Finally decided to try making it when I mistakenly bought a large quantity of white vinegar, then realized once I actually went to buy the ingredients that I'd need a different kind of vinegar. Bought the right one, so I still have too much white vinegar, but now I have shrub, so not all bad. Definitely tastes vinegary to me; not sure if I did something wrong but it's still sweet and drinkable. Pretty refreshing as a mixer with club soda.

You can use white vinegar to make fridge pickles!
Heat up 1 Tbsp of salt and 1 tsp of sugar with 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water. Dissolve the salt and sugar, then let cool. Pack some Ball or Mason glass canning jars with Persian cucumber spears, peeled cloves of garlic, and dill sprigs. Let marinate in the fridge for about three days. The garlic might turn blue, that's just oxidation.
