Suggest a better descriptionFlavored vinegars are great fun to give as gifts but there are a few simple precautions you need to take. Because vinegar is high in acid, it does not support the growth of botulism bacteria. Some vinegars, however, may support the growth of E. coli bacteria, so some precautions are well advised. First boil the bottles you will be using in a pan of waer for 10 minutes to sanitize them. Second, dip the herbs in a sanitizing bleach solution of 1 T. bleach in a gallon of water. Rinse the herbs thoroughly in cold running water, pat dry and place a sprig or two in each bottle. Next, heat the vinegar to 160 degrees F and pour over the herbs in the bottle. If the herbs are heated in the vinegar, they wont look as good. Although any vinegar will work, distilled white vinegar is best when using herbs. Apple cider vinegar blends well with fruits. Rice and wine vinegars need to be used with caution as they contain proteins that cna provide an excellent medium for bacterial growth. Flavored vinegars take 3-4 weeks to develop their full potential. They are best stored in a cool dark place and used within three to four months.
