Limited Edition: Carrot, Ginger, and Habanero

First stop with this limited edition shrub is the crazy beautiful color. Pause a second to take in the vibrant, saturated orange derived from the carrots. Second stop: the flavor. Carrots offer a gentle sweetness, ginger adds warmth with an edge, and then the spicy habanero hops aboard and it’s a party! Bright, vibrant, ready to burst–it is springtime in a bottle.

Urban Pharm Shrubs are versatile. Start by adding a shrub splash to sparkling or still water. Make your morning apple cider vinegar dose something to savor rather than throw back. Add a sprig of rosemary to add some texture. Don’t look now, but you may have a festive mocktail or cocktail on your hands. Shrub up your next marinade or dressing. Play around to your liking.

Each little bottle has about 7 servings and each big bottle has about 12 servings, depending on how vinegar-forward you want to be.

We have adorable gift boxes for each size. Note that boxes are sent unassembled (so not recommended if you're sending directly to a gift recipient). You can add to your order at check out!

Raw apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is a tried & true health aid. Thanks to acetic acid and loads of friendly bacteria, apple cider vinegar supports digestion, lowers blood sugar, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Raw honey: Honey is sweet and delicious, as well as rich in antioxidants. Although the body processes honey as it does cane sugar (raising blood sugar levels), the composition of honey actually improves blood sugar regulation.

Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a type of carotenoid that converts to vitamin A and plays a crucial role in healthy vision and immune function. It also gives carrots their beautiful yellow or orange color. Carrots are delicious AND nutritious.

Ginger contains several essential vitamins, notably vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin E, all of which support immune health and cognitive function. Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is well known for quelling nausea and gastric discomfort.

Carrot Ginger Soup
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons Carrot, Ginger, & Habanero Shrub
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley and/or plain greek yogurt to top

Instructions:
🥕 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
🥕 Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
🥕 Pour in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. 🥕 Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
🥕 Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, blend in batches and exercise caution when blending hot liquids.
🥕 Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the shrub. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
🥕 Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. If the consistency is too thick, add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
🥕 Serve the carrot ginger soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley. The shrub will add a tangy kick to complement the carrots' sweetness and the ginger's spiciness. For a complimenting cool, add a dollop of greek yogurt when serving.
