I like shiso and and I like look of that syrup!

Have you had shiso juice? It's sooo good; I don't know where you're located, but if I have a chance to share some with you I'd like to be able to!

The part of the process of making it that's really magical is when you have the shiso-infused water that's kind of a mellow dark red color, and then you pour in a little vinegar and it instantly turns the vivid bright red you see in that photo.

I have not! I just chew shiso leaves every once in a while (friends in Philly have thriving pots of them), or have them in soup. I'm in Gaithersburg; I'd love to try shiso juice. I'd be happy to host you on my front porch /in my backyard, or come over (?), or meet somewhere (all masked).
