Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry your infusing materials. Place them in a glass jar.
  2. Pour your vinegar over the material and seal the jar with a non-corrosive lid.
  3. Steep for 2-4 weeks, shaking every couple of days.
  4. When the flavor is to your liking, strain the vinegar through cheesecloth to remove all plant matter.
  5. Store the infused vinegar in a clean jar for 5-6 months.
