Title: Lemon Shrub
Categories: Gift Beverages
Yield: 1 Batch

1		Bottle Spanish brandy
		Peel of 1 lemon
		Juice of 2 lemons
1/2		Bottle dry white wine
2	oz	Sugar

Put the brandy, peel and lemon juice in a large glass jar. Cover and let it stand for 3 days, then add the wine and sugar. Cap again, tightly. Leave for a day or two in a warm place to dissolve the sugar, then strain through double muslin into clean bottles and seal.

The authors note that Lemon Shrub tastes a little like dry vermouth and can be drunk with ice and lemon peel or mixed as Pimms with lemonade or sparkling water.
