Peach Basil Shrub
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches pitted and sliced, or 1½ cups frozen peach slices (thawed), plus more peach slices for serving
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves lightly torn
- ½ cup Marukan Organic Rice Vinegar
- Ice for serving
- Sparkling water for serving
- Fresh basil sprigs for serving
Instructions
- In a glass jar or bowl, combine the peach slices and maple syrup.
- Muddle the peaches gently with a spoon or muddler to release their juices.
- Stir in the torn basil leaves and let the mixture sit for about 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Stir in the vinegar.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 to 48 hours, shaking or stirring occasionally to help the flavors infuse.
- After the resting period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar.
- Press down on the peaches to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids or repurpose them in smoothies or desserts.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will deepen over time!
To serve:
- Mix 2 tablespoons of shrub syrup with sparkling water over ice garnished with peach slices and basil sprigs.
