Yield Makes 500 ml of vinegar
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Add all of the spices into the bottle of vinegar (they should all fit but if not then feel free to pour away a small amount. The items in the ingredients list are simply my recommendations, you can add whatever you want into your vinegar (just make sure that they are whole, not ground).
- seal the lids back on tightly, store in the cupboard for around 3 months - or until they have infused enough for your tastes. Alternatively, for a much quicker process, place your bottle on the top rack of the dishwasher for one cycle (seems odd but really works, just make sure the lids are on tight!) then leave over night.
- strain off all of the spices and additions, then use your vinegar to make all kinds of pickles and chutneys.
Tips:
- Use a variety of spices to create a complex flavor profile.
- Toast the spices before using to enhance their flavor.
- Use a cheesecloth bag or spice ball to hold the spices together, making them easy to remove.
- Simmer the spices in a liquid, such as vinegar or water, to extract their flavor.
- Let the pickles cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
