I have a question about how to make herb flavored vinegar

[Guest guest]

Greetings, members.

I am a new member to this group.

Need some help on how to make herb flavored vinegar.

This year, my fresh dill plants are really growing well.

I would like to make some dill flavored vinegar but not quite

sure how to go about it.

 

Do I get a bottle of white vinegar, add the fresh dill to

the vinegar and store it on a shelf or in the fridge????

 

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

hugs,

To make herbal vinegar, wash and dry your fresh herbs thoroughly then pour

warm vinegar, not hot, over them in the glass jar. Be sure that the fresh

herbs are completely covered by the vinegar. Seal the jar and allow them to

sit for a month or two to mingle the flavors. Do not allow it access to

direct sun.

 

Always use sterilized jars. Pour boiling water directly into the jar. Let

them sit for about 10 minutes. Allow the bottle to cool and thoroughly dry.

Make sure everything is dry before making your herbal vinegar.

 

After it has steeped remove the fresh herbs that you used and add new ones

for a fresher look. If you want to add garlic or chili peppers to the herbal

vinegar thread them on wooden skewers so that they will stay submerged.

Don't use distilled vinegar. Get white wine or rice vinegar for nice herbal

vinegars. You can use apple cider for some of the more robust herbs, and it's

wonderful with garlic and hot peppers!
