Orange and rosemary make the perfect duo bringing a fresh citrus scent to this homemade infused vinegar.
Use infused vinegars in salad dressings, in marinades, as a topping for roasted veggies or add it to homemade cleaning sprays.
They also make beautiful, unique homemade gifts!
You can infuse vinegars with a variety of different herbs and foods.
We go through a lot of oranges in my house so I’m using up the peels in this recipe to make an orange and rosemary infused vinegar.
Here’s what you need:
- Glass jar with lid (such as a mason jar)
- Orange peels (sometimes other citrus peels get added in too)
- Fresh rosemary
Here’s what you do:
- Add citrus peels and a few fresh sprigs of rosemary to a mason jar.
- Fill the jar with white vinegar and cover with a tight lid.
- Store it in a cool, dark location to allow the peels and herbs to infuse the vinegar. (The longer you let it sit, the stronger the scent will be.)
Use as a natural cleaner
Once it’s ready, mix it with water 1:1 into a glass spray bottle and clean away!
Infused vinegar shelf life
Infused vinegars will stay good for up to 3 months in a cool, dark place.
Increase the shelf life by keeping it in the fridge for up to 8 months.
