Method
 

Make the Shrub Base

  2. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours, stirring once or twice, until syrup forms.
  3. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar, pressing solids to extract juice.
  4. Discard or repurpose solids. Stir the apple cider vinegar into the syrup, along with the glycine if using, until fully combined and the glycine has dissolved.
