How to Make Herb VinegarInstructions: 1. Open your food processor and fill the cup ¾ of the way full with your choice of fresh herbs. 2. Pour in about a cup of vinegar. 3. Process on high for about 30 seconds. Add more herbs and another 2 cups of vinegar. Pulse for another minute or two. 4. Line a sieve or tea strainer with a coffee filter and slowly pour the herb and vinegar mixture through the coffee filter and into a bowl. Carefully press the herbs against the filter to press all of the vinegar out of the herbs. Re-line the sieve with a fresh coffee filter and pour the strained vinegar through the sieve once more to catch any loose herbs. 5. Store in a clean jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid. Add whole herbs and spices of your choice. The longer your vinegar sits the stronger the flavour will get. 6. If you begin to run out of your favourite herb vinegar, add a little more vinegar to the bottle (and some fresh herbs if you wish), then let it sit for a week. Herbal Vinegar Tips:Use good quality vinegar - Just like wine - the better the vinegar, the better the finished product will be! Experiment - there are all sorts of vinegars - rice, cider, red and white wines, and even champagne vinegars. Each will bring its own individual characteristics to the final infusion of herbs and vinegar. Use fresh herbs - they will produce the strongest, pure taste. Caution: - If you have never used an herb before and have allergies, consult your physician to make sure that you can use it without a reaction.
