Distilled white vinegar
1/4-1/3 c. fresh herbs
Cheesecloth
Funnel
2 tbsp. black peppercorns
Glass wine type bottle
Cork
Sunlight

Place clean, fresh herbs in bottle (for instance, chives, thyme, garlic, rosemary). Add black peppercorns. Fill bottle to within 1 1/2 to 2 inches of top with distilled white vinegar (20 ounces or so). Secure opening with cork, place bottle in direct sunlight for 4-6 weeks. Invert bottle every few days to gently mix ingredients.

Once you have achieved the desired flavor, strain vinegar with cheesecloth to remove particles. Return vinegar to bottle. A fresh sprig of herbs may be added for decoration, though it is NOT a good idea to keep garlic cloves in vinegar indefinitely. Fresh or dried fruits may also be used to flavor vinegars! use in recipes or as a lite salad dressing.
