Look up the story behind Vinegar -of-the Four Thieves. Super interesting and useful knowledge for today.
Wow! From the year 1281
Ingredients
4 cloves garlic fresh, chopped1/4 cup peppermint chopped1/4 cup rosemary chopped1/4 cup thyme chopped1/4 cup sage chopped*1/8 cup lavender chopped2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar ACV
Instructions
Chop the garlic cloves
Strip the herbs from their stems and roughly chop them on a cutting board.
Add the garlic and other herbs to your jar
Add enough vinegar to cover the herbs fully and add a good-fitting lid to the jar
Allow to sit in a cool place for minimum 7 days (or 1 month if possible)
Strain the liquid into a clean glass jar with a good lid.
Compost or discard the herbs
Recipe Notes
NOTE: use a plastic lid or use waxed paper or parchment or cling wrap between the jar and the lid.
No fresh herbs? Just 1/2 the quantities.. For example, 1/4 c fresh thyme = 1/8 cup dried thyme or make a super tonic and keep it all as is.. with the dried herbs. It's more of a relaxed template than a precise recipe.
