Carrot-Ginger Shrub

Ingredients

• 2 lb. carrots
• 2 Tbsp. grated ginger
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

1. Wash carrots and, if necessary, scrub with a vegetable brush to remove dirt. Peel them if you want to, but it’s not necessary.
2. Purée carrots in a blender or food processor.
3. Pour carrot purée into clean nonreactive container. Add grated ginger.
4. Pour cider vinegar over carrots and ginger. Stir to combine. Refrigerate for 2 days.
5. Place a fine-mesh strainer over another bowl. Pour carrot-and-vinegar mixture into strainer. Press or squeeze the mixture to extract all the juice.
