Directions
Vinegars keep for up to a year. Use good-quality red-wine or white-wine vinegar or cider, sherry, champagne or rice-wine vinegar.
For vinegar containers, I like to recycle attractive bottles. They must be in excellent condition, free of chips and cracks.
Sterilize the bottles before using: Wash with hot soapy water and rinse well. Place on a wire rack in a large pot and add water to cover the bottles; bring to a boil and let boil for 15 minutes.
Transfer the bottles to a clean towel, then use a chopstick or skewer to poke desired flavorings into sterilized bottles. Experiment with different combinations and amounts. Addvinegar to fill, using a funnel. Seal tightly with clean new corks, plastic stoppers or screw-on tops. Store in a cool, dry place for at least a week to allow flavors to blend.Store at room temperature.
