Wild Blueberry and Basil Shrub (100ml)

Our Wild Blueberry and Basil Shrub has deliciously deep and nuanced flavors with an edge of the unexpected. The wild blueberries have a gorgeous intensity, and the sweet basil offers a bit of herbaceous pepper.

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.

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.

Wild blueberry: Have you ever seen a wild blueberry? They are truly adorable. Smaller than a regular blueberry, loaded with antioxidants, fiber, and manganese, wild blueberries give a one-two punch of flavor and nutritional sparkle. New England-grown superstars.

Sweet Basil: Sweet basil is a mainstream herb for a reason: it is delicious, versatile, healthy, and happy-making. Sweet basil is loaded with antioxidants which can decrease the risk of cancer & heart disease, reduce stress, and improve mental health.
