Hi Mandy, The only thing you really need to do is put your herbs in a bottle, pour in your vinegar and let them sit for a while, out of the sunlight. I put some fresh tarragon in two pretty bottles I got at the thrift store with some red wine vinegar that I bought cheaply at our grocery supply store (URM or Smart and Final or Cash & Carry). It has been sitting for about 2 months and is ready to go. You can also google herbal vinegar recipes and get lots of ideas. Have fun!

We come from the earth, we go back to the earth, and in between, we garden!

I make my own fabric softener with 1 c. dried lavender, 5 drops lavender essential oil, and 1 quart of vinegar. Let it "steep" for a week, strain, and use about a half cup per load. Works great!

I just made this a couple of weeks ago and tried it on a salad with some avocado oil yesterday. It's really good, and the ingredients can be changed, if you wish. For instance, I don't like cilantro, so I just used a couple of sprigs of it, and then put parsley and a little oregano (fresh) in mine.

SALSA VINEGAR

4 large, red jalapeno peppers, quartered lengthwise (not seeded)
3 scallions with green tops, well washed
12 large sprigs cilantro
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
3 cups good quality white wine vinegar

Trim tops of scallions to fit the bottle you're using; stuff the jalapenos, scallions, cilantro (or whatever herbs you decide to use) and garlic into a tall, decorative 1 quart bottle. Fill the bottle with the vinegar to completely cover the ingredients. Seal the bottle and let it stand in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before using.

I pour apple cider vinegar over raspberries or blackberries and let it sit in a cool dark spot for a month or so. delicious. the blackberry is full of iron, so is good if you're anemic

happiness to all sentient beings
