How To Make Burnt Cinnamon, Orange And Rosemary Infused Vinegar | Tasting Table Recipe

Infused vinegars are an easy DIY project

Store-bought vinegars are great, but infusing your own offers the double benefit of creating interesting flavor combinations as well as making something lasting and useful out of assorted leafy scraps that might otherwise go in the trash. Start with a quality white wine vinegar or white distilled vinegar, which absorb flavor well. Warm the base vinegar and add whatever herbs or stems or curious spices you've got on hand.

Bottle it up and wait a week before using so that the flavors have time to meld and become pronounced. Be creative and use what you've got at home. We love this slightly smoky combination of burnt cinnamon, orange peel and rosemary.
