Herbal Vinegar With Garlic & Basil - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, halved
1 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cups white wine vinegar

Preparation

In a glass or stainless steel sauce pan heat white wine vinegar on the stove to where it is warm, but not boiling.
Bruise basil and loosely fill clean glass jars with basil and halved garlic cloves.
Pour the warmed vinegar to fill each glass jar and cap with an acid-proof lid. Store in a cool, dark place 2 weeks, shaking occasionally.
After two weeks have passed strain through cheesecloth and rebottle.
Add a few fresh basil leaves to the bottle for identification purposes and visual appeal.
