Bottled Herb Vinegar

Bottled Herb Vinegar
Red or White wine vinegar
Selection of herbs as basil or sage*
Plastic funnel
Decorative bottles
Sterilize an empty bottle by boiling it.
Select the wine vinegar of your choice.
Most people prefer white wine vinegar but some use red for more color.
Avoid apple vinegar, as that will change the flavor of your herbs.
Pour the vinegar into the bottle using a plastic funnel (a metal funnel may
contain bacteria that would ruin your vinegar.)
Next, choose the herbs you'd like to use.
A variety is fine.
Add the herbs to the bottle until you achieve a look you like.
Cap the bottle securely and set it in the sun for 2-3 weeks
so the vinegar absorbs the flavor of the herbs.
If you prefer, you can cook it by gently heating on the stove instead.
Add your personal tag and it's ready to give away or use in your own kitchen.
NOTE: From Rebecca's Garden recipes, 2001
* Note from Sue, other herbs you could use is thyme, savory, tarragon, chives.
Chive blossoms look pretty pink in your vinegar.
