Has anyone here ever made a vinegar shrub from scratch? There are a handful of recipes online, but most involve using premade vinegar or just put some sweet syrup out and let it go off.... I am wanting a recipe that is a bit more controlled than that.
A vinegar shrub is a syrup made from/with vinegar, usually fruit vinegar, that is intended for mixing with soda/vodka/etc and making into a drink. I find them very tasty, but ridiculously hard to find, and have been thinking of making my own lately. In fact, I am tempted to make a larger batch and bottle it for my alcohol-free friends (heaven forbid).
So, any tips or thoughts on this that others could give would be great.
Here are a few links to other people talking about shrubs:

Right! That's about it, I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has done this, as I'm thinking of doing my first one soon and looking for a proper recipe that isn't merely "add fruit to vinegar".
