Sorry about the misspelled word in the title. I don't know how to go back and change it.
I happen to use this vinegar to flavor the chicken for my Chicken with Rice recipe. Just add the vinegar to the chicken and let it marinade in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, longer if you like a more intense rosemary flavor.
What you'll need:
3 cups of a mild vinegar (I use regular White Wine Vinegar)
1 cup, your choice, of crushed herbs (for this example I will be using Rosemary)
1- Quart Mason Jar and Lid
fresh sprigs of the herb(s) you used
Let's get started:
Take the rosemary and crush. Keep adding until you get a cup.
Pour the crushed herbs into the Mason Jar
Add the 3 cups of vinegar
Cover and store in a cool, dark place for at least 1 month
After 1 month:
Take a strainer and line it with a coffee filter
strain the vinegar into another vessel
place 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary into a bottle
using a funnel, pour the vinegar into the bottle until full
repeat with additional bottles.
This recipe makes approximately 2 bottles of vinegar. If you have a lot of friends and family, you can always increase the amount you are making. Just remember to keep to the 3:1 ratio; 3 cups of vinegar to 1 cup of crushed herbs. ( to double, it would be 6 cups of vinegar to 2 cups of crushed herbs).
I have found a great source for the bottles I use. They are decorative and inexpensive.
