It's back! This seasonal shrub is fresh purple perilla leaves and rhubarb. 

First up - what is shiso?

Perilla is a perennial herb from Eastern Asia that grows easily and abundantly around us here in Northern New South Wales. There are many different names for it, but in Japan it is known as shiso.

Used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, it's rich in calcium, iron, omegas, antioxidants and contains up to 10X the amount of carotenes as pumpkin. It’s also anti-inflammatory, improving immune function and supporting the respiratory system specifically, traditionally used in congestive ailments and asthma.

As a member of the mint family, it offers digestive support and stimulant. It’s found traditionally as a condiment to protein based meals, and relieves indigestion.

💗 We are so excited to have this seasonal favourite back in stock for you. 

What does it taste like?

It's hard to explain but shiso tastes a bit like cinnamon, clove, tarragon and mint yet nothing like that at all. Blended with tart and tangy rhubarb this shrub is bright, fresh, aromatic, fruity and delightfully unusual. It's also the softest peachy pink colour.

How to use

Mix 35ml of shrub with 200ml of sparkling water or soda water and ice for a refreshing, aromatic botanical soda.

Ingredients

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Fresh Rhubarb, Local Sugar, Fresh Shiso Herb.
