Directions
-
Well, it's simple and unmeasured.
-
I decide how much vinegar I want to steep, and choose a wide-mouthed jar of that size.
-
fill this jar with roughly equal amounts of fresh Greek oregano (a very strong, hot varietybeware as some fresh oregano is insipid), mint (for this, I like the yerba buena variety a coarse, strong spearmint), and winter savory (stonger flavored than summer savory).
-
I generally try to bruise the leaves a bit.
-
pour the vinegar over the herbs, put a
-
layer of waxed paper and a couple of layers of plastic
-
wrap over the mouth of the bottle (to help retard the inevitable corrosion of the metal cap) and then screw on the jar lid.
-
place the jar either on a sunny windowsill or on the deck for a few weeks, and then strain the vinegar through a coffee filter and return it to the original vinegar bottle (which usually has a more corrosion-resistant lid).
-
I don't like to leave any herbs in the vinegar, and don't like to
-
add any for decoration, either, because they tend to
-
add a funky taste that I don't care for if they sit long enough
