What is the Shrub Ratio Calculator & How does it work?
Drinking shrubs are a delightful way to infuse fruits with vinegar and sugar, creating a syrup that can be mixed with water or soda. The key to a great shrub is balancing the sweetness of sugar, the tartness of vinegar, and the natural flavors of fruit.
The ratio typically used for making shrubs is 1 part fresh fruit juice, 2 parts sugar, and 3 parts vinegar. This balance ensures a well-rounded flavor profile that complements various mixers.
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Fruit Juice}}{\text{Sugar}} : \frac{\text{Vinegar}}{\text{Sugar}}
Fruit Juice = Amount of fruit juice in cups
Sugar = Amount of sugar in cups
Vinegar = Amount of vinegar in cups
Sugar = Amount of sugar in cups
