Stirring Up Summertime Fun
Looking for the perfect drink to complement your favorite summer activity?
The team at A+B pulled together a list of their favorite summertime beverages for you to try from now until Labor Day.
Strawberry Mint Shrub
Equal parts (by weight) fruit to sugar, shake this up well and let that blend overnight on the counter to macerate the fruit.
In another jar add the same weight of white wine vinegar with several sprigs of mint, muddle the mint let that sit overnight on the counter as well
Next day, mix the two together, shake them well and then strain the solids.
Mix a tablespoon or two with seltzer water to your desired strength and enjoy over ice.

Bubble Milk Tea
Enjoy in a variety of fresh fruit favors
For kids, skip the "tea with the caffeine" and just add milk. To enjoy as a healthy snack drink, just add little honey and no sugar.
