Makes: ± 500 ml
Time: 10 min + 3 weeks steeping
From: Summer savory

Ingredients

5 sprigs summer savory
1 garlic clove, halved
1 teaspoon peppercorns
500 ml white wine vinegar

Method

Rinse the savory and let it dry completely: water makes the vinegar cloudy.
Put the herbs, garlic and pepper in a clean bottle and pour in the vinegar so that everything is covered.
Leave to steep for 3 weeks in a cool, dark place.
Strain the vinegar into a clean bottle, with a fresh sprig for decoration if you like.

Storing: A year in a cool, dark place. Lovely in a dressing for bean or potato salad.
