Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Basil and Garlic Vinegar 1 packed cup fresh basil 3 cloves garlic 1 quart wine vinegar quart jar plastic wrap glass bottle with cap Begin by washing the basil and patting it dry. Make sure the leaves are completely dry because water will make the vinegar cloudy. Next combine 1 full cup of packed basil leaves and 3 crushed cloves of garlic in a sterilized quart jar. Fill the jar with vinegar to near full and bruise the leaves with a wooden spoon. The bruising helps the flavor of the herb integrate with the vinegar. Cover the jar with a piece of plastic; place it in a cool, dark cupboard for 4 to 6 weeks, shaking it occasionally. After the recommended time strain the solution into a hot, sterilized bottle and add a stem of the herb for identification. Herbal vinegars will last about 6 months. If you omit the identifying stems, it will last even longer. Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Mobile. Try it now.
