Herb Vinegar

Herb vinegar is made by macerating fresh or dried herbs in quality wine or apple cider vinegar. It is most commonly prepared with tarragon, rosemary, thyme or basil. The result is an aromatic liquid with a gentle acidity and a pronounced herbal scent. In the kitchen, it is used as a base for dressings, marinades and sauces, and can also be added to soups and braised dishes. It is easy to make at home, simply place herbs in a bottle of vinegar and leave to infuse for several weeks. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
