Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup chive blossoms (washed thoroughly)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into a glass jar and add 1 cup of thoroughly washed chive blossoms.
- Cover Properly: Cover the jar with a piece of parchment paper instead of the metal lid to prevent any reaction between the metal and the vinegar.
- Infuse Vinegar: Store the jar in a dark, cool place for a period ranging from 2 weeks up to 2 months to allow the chive blossoms to fully infuse their flavor into the vinegar.
- Strain Vinegar: After infusion, remove the chive blossoms and strain the vinegar through a fine mesh sieve to catch any remaining small pieces.
- Store the Vinegar: Transfer the infused vinegar into a clean container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 6 months or in the pantry for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use only fresh, clean chive blossoms to avoid introducing any dirt or impurities into the vinegar.
- The infusion time can vary, so taste periodically to achieve your preferred strength of flavor.
- Always use parchment paper or a non-reactive covering to avoid metallic flavors or reaction with vinegar.
- Store the final product properly refrigerated or in a cool place to maintain freshness and flavor.
