SHRUBS & BOTANICAL SODAS DIGITAL BOOK

✓ Are you a home gardener, a drinks enthusiast, or someone who loves the idea of turning your garden’s harvest into thirst-quenching beverages?

✓ Do you enjoy no-or-low alcohol beverages using freshly-picked ingredients?

✓ Are you into sustainable sipping, championing an eco-friendly and mindful drinking culture using local and seasonal ingredients while reducing food miles and waste?

Now you can transform your harvests into drinking shrubs and botanical sodas!

SHRUBS & BOTANICAL SODAS is your digital passport to a world of flavour, creativity and refreshing non-alcoholic drinks from the garden. The digital book is aimed at home gardeners, drink enthusiasts and cooks of all skill levels. It teaches you how to transform your home-grown fruits, herbs, vegetables, flowers, Australian native botanicals and spices into refreshing shrubs or drinking vinegars.

“The book is not just a collection of shrub recipes,” says Corinne Mossati. “It’s a celebration of sustainable sipping, championing an eco-friendly and mindful drinking culture using garden-fresh ingredients while reducing food miles and waste. It’s ideal for non-drinkers and designated drivers.”

Featuring 20 savoury and sweet shrub recipes followed by botanical sodas and no-and-low alcohol drink recipe templates, the book includes full page colour shrub photos taken throughout the seasons on location in The Gourmantic Garden.

The introductory chapters have all the shrub basics, from the shrub-making methods and various types of sugar and vinegar to the proper storage of shrubs. The second part consists of 20 shrub recipes with detailed step-by-step instructions, sustainability and zero waste tips along with drink and food suggestions. The third part contains drink recipe templates incorporating botanical sodas, non-alcoholic beverages, low-alcohol drinks and cocktails.

SHRUBS & BOTANICAL SODAS is the second title in the GROW IT EAT IT DRINK IT books following GROW YOUR OWN COCKTAIL GARDEN.
