Ingredients

  • 2 cups Vinegar of choice - White, White Wine or Champagne vinegar preferred
  • 2 cups Chive blossom

Instructions

  • Harvest. Harvest your chive blossoms/flowers by snipping the stem right below the flower cluster, wash and dry on a paper towel.
  • Pack. Pack your washed chive blossoms (flowers) into a large mason jar or other non-reactive container (see expert tips) and pour in your vinegar of choice until you reach the top of the jar.
  • Infuse. Let your vinegar and chive blossoms steep in a dark, cool cupboard for 5-7 days away from direct light. You can go up to 2 weeks if you like a stronger flavor.
  • Strain and Bottle. Strain the steeped vinegar into clean jars or bottles and store at room temperature. Discard (or compost) the spent chive blossoms.
