Oregano Herbal Vinegar

The method is simple. Place your fresh oregano herb in a large glass container. Fill the container with either apple cider vinegar. Never use metal utensils or lids. Place the vinegar in a bright location for about two weeks. Shake the mixture daily. Strain the flavored vinegar into decorative bottles, adding herb sprigs. Close the top with a cork or similar stoppers. The vinegar is good for about six months. Use in salad dressings, as a hair rinse, or a medicinal tonic.
