Anyone make their own herbal vinegar?
I couldn't resist picking up some Tarragon at our local nursery this afternoon and as soon as it stops raining I will plant them in clay pots and put them on the deck...Never grew Tarragon before but I LOVE Tarragon Vinegar!
Any other suggestions for different types herbal vinegar would be greatly appreciated....

Rachel, are you making vinegars with each of those herbs?
Melody, You should get plenty of tarragon from your plant.

Yes, I am making my vinegars separately to see how they do. Maybe later on I might do some combinations. All I do is just fill whatever size jar with herb, top off with vinegar, cover with plastic wrap and then cover with the jar lid (you could also use plastic jar lids, but I don't have any). Shake it daily.

You don't have to heat the vinegar or anything? just crush your herbs into a jar and pour over the vinegar? How long does it have to set before you can use it? I think I am going to make some tomorrow.

I don't heat the vinegar. Let it sit for 6 weeks.
