Kombucha Strawberry Shrub
Strawberries are so delicious that I could eat them by the crate full. But, then you end up with five crates full at prime strawberry picking season and panic about what to do with them!
I freeze most of them, turn some into chia jam, and I have added them to my recipe collection: Kombucha Strawberry Shrub. It’s super easy to make and so delicious. I only had a small amount of vinegar on hand when I made the recipe, so I improvised with some homemade kombucha, and it turned out awesome!

Kombucha Strawberry Shrub
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic strawberries washed and sliced
- 1 cup organic cane sugar not GMO beet sugar!
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup homemade kombucha
Instructions
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, mash those berries up! I use a potato masher because that's what my grandma would have done!
- 2. Combine the berries and the sugar in a bowl.
- 3. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight.
- 4. In the morning, strain the berries through a mesh strainer. Really work them because the liquid will be syrupy and the more you mash them with that spatula, the more juice you get.
- 5. Save the berries for a delicious treat.
- 6. Pour the sweetened strawberry juice into a mason jar and pour in the vinegar and kombucha.
- 7. Put back into the fridge and allow to sit for 2-3 days.
- 8. Serve strawberry shrub with your favorite beverage: sparkling water or mixed drinks. Whatever suits your fancy!
