Honey, Ginger and Lemon Shrub

Drinks

A healthy and refreshing alcohol alternative. The combination of honey, ginger & lemon creates a delightful shrub. A perfect cocktail for all of the seasons.

Prep time: 5 mins

Ingredients

140ml honey 

1 half of a fresh ginger (grated)

1 tbsp grated lemon zest

2 tbsp lemon juice

sugar alternative to taste

50ml water

120ml Willy’s Honey and Turmeric ACV 

Method

1. In a saucepan add your honey, grated ginger and zest, sugar alternative, lemon juice and water and stir on a low heat.
2. Pour in your ACV and stir until combined and keep stirring for 1-2 minutes.
3. Place a fine-mesh strainer/sieve with a muslin cloth over a bowl and pour in the pulp.

4. Let everything drain on its own. Do not press (as tempting as it is) through the strainer otherwise you’ll end up with the pulp in the syrup. 
5. Pour your syrup into a glass jar (kilner is ideal) and store the shrub in the fridge for up to 1 month.
6. To make your cocktail, simply place 4 tbsp of your Honey, Ginger and Turmeric shrub mixture followed by crushed ice and ginger beer and serve with sliced oranges or sliced lemon.
