Limited Edition Seasonal Shrub: Magnolia & Pear

It's back and in this years edition we’ve added fresh, juicy, whole ginger root to bring the ginger to the surface and make it pop. It’s our best version yet. 

We started this shrub with whole crispy green pears to create a subtly sweet, almost creamy foundation to lay magnolia on. We didn’t want anything bold or overpowering. This is an extremely precious and rare shrub, one that gets us excited just thinking about it. The base had to be humble and supportive. 

A true ode to winter. In traditional herbal medicine, magnolia is used as a nervine and antidepressant tonic. This shrub truly lifts the mood and sweeps out the winter cobwebs or seasonal blues.

We make seasonal shrubs simply because we love local, seasonal fruit. Traditionally, shrubs were used as a way of preserving fruit at the height of the harvest. Seasonal shrubs are a way for us to keep this tradition alive and are available in small batches until sold out. 

What does it taste like?

We imagine the flowers would taste like the smell but it's not so! The smell of magnolia doesn’t translate when eating or infusing the petals. Magnolia is sometimes used as a substitute for ginger. After an initial sweet almost mushroom earthiness (we mean this in the best way possible), the warmth and slight spice builds on the palette. She’s gentle but strong. She doesn’t shout at you but speaks in a firm voice when telling you what she knows to be true.

How to use

The usual shrub ratio of 35 ml to 200 ml sparkling water will make the most delightful sweet, fragrant and slightly spicy shrub soda. We also like this one a little stronger to get the full magic of its flower power.

Ingredients

Wild harvested magnificent magnolia flowers of multiple varieties picked on an exquisite spring day by Genna, fresh cold pressed crispy green pears, raw organic apple cider vinegar, local raw sugar, just enough organic galangal and fresh organic ginger root to support magnolia's natural spiciness, a little ginger for its heat and galangal for its fragrance.

This shrub is a perfect 👌 spring summer thirst quencher. It looks fancy enough to be a cocktail but without the calories or effects of alcohol. I have purchased this for myself and for my 3 daughters who all attest to its refreshing taste with added health benefits. They are also using it as an alcohol substitute for their afternoon tipples. It’s the best. 🥰🍹
