Rose Petal Vinegar

Ingredients:

2 cups white wine vinegar (heat to near boil)
1 cup rose petals
3 or 4 whole cloves

Directions:

• Gently wash and drain rose petals thoroughly. Carefully remove the white/yellow part of the petals (just snip with scissors). Gently crush the petals to bruise a bit.
• In a sterilized jar, place the rose petals and cloves. Pour hot vinegar over top, roughly mash the petals a bit with a wooden spoon and seal immediately.
• Set aside for 10 days (room temperature and dark). Shake occasionally.
• Strain vinegar and discard the cloves and rose petals.
• Using small decorative jars (sterilized), pour the vinegar and seal.

Tip: If possible, use the freshest petals you can by picking the flowers on the day you’ll be making this recipe.

*Do not consume if chemicals or pesticides were used on the rose bush
