Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup chive blossoms (washed thoroughly)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the washed chive blossoms into a clean glass jar and pour the white vinegar over them, ensuring the blossoms are fully submerged.
- Cover Properly: Seal the jar with a piece of parchment paper instead of a metal lid to prevent any reactive effects from the metal on the vinegar.
- Infuse: Store the jar in a dark, cool place and let the mixture infuse for a period of 2 weeks to 2 months to develop its flavor.
- Strain: After the infusion period, remove the chive blossoms and strain the vinegar through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining small pieces.
- Store: Transfer the strained vinegar to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months or in the pantry for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use fresh and clean chive blossoms for the best flavor and safety.
- Do not use a metal lid to avoid any taste contamination or chemical reaction.
- Longer steeping times intensify the flavor, so adjust infusion time according to your taste preference.
- Always store infused vinegar in a clean, airtight container.
