Wild Eve and Wild Meadowsweet & Rose Shrub

Every year, after the Rose harvest is over and the Meadowsweet has dried beautifully, I make this shrub. All summer we pick and add flowers to a big container full of white wine vinegar, stirring it every few days. Over months the vinegar loses its sharp inital scent to the florals. Every October it's ready to be strained and then mixed with raw cane sugar to make a shrub. It's an old fashioned way of making therapeutic drinks and preserving the flavour of all too fleeting flowers.

It's very intense on its own but when you add a teaspoon to a glass of Wild Eve and soda it becomes something quite magical. So this is the 2026 batch ready to go with a bottle of Wild Eve.
