Four Thieves Vinegar

The original four thieves vinegar recipe is lost to time, and you'll find many different versions. This one is simple and easy to make.

Ingredients

 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh lavender flowers
 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
 * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh anise hyssop
 * 4 cloves garlic (peeled and crushed)
 * 4 cups white wine vinegar

Instructions
Toss herbs and garlic together in a one-quart mason jar, cover with vinegar and allow them to marinate for seven to ten days in a sunny location. After seven to ten days, strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve into a second, clean 1-quart glass jar. Store at room temperature until ready to use and serve as you would any seasoned vinegar: as a basis for vinaigrettes or as a seasoning for braised meats and vegetables.
