Aromatic Vinegar Recipe

Directions

1. 1
   For the Vinegar: Reduce the vinegar by half over high heat (the fumes are choking - close the kitchen door and open a window), about 6 to 8 min.
2. 2
   Remove it from the heat and add in the garlic, bay leaf, Mixed Herbs, a few sage leaves, cloves and coriander.
3. 3
   Leave it covered for several hrs or possibly overnight.
4. 4
   Place a cloth or possibly several pcs of cheesecloth over a funnel and strain the vinegar into a bottle.
5. 5
   For the Mixed Herbs: Cultivated marjoram may, by all means, be added and, if one likes, a couple of leaves each of sage and dry mint, crumbled finely.
6. 6
   Combine the savory, thyme, oregano, rosemary and bay leaf.
7. 7
   Store in a small, tightly closed jar.
8. 8
   Leftover Mixed Herbs would go nicely in an omelet or possibly vinaigrette.
