- 8 sprigs fresh oregano
Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wash and dry the fresh oregano thoroughly. This ensures that no dirt or debris remains on the leaves. |
| 2 | In a large saucepan, pour the white wine vinegar and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. This process helps sterilize the vinegar and prepares it for infusion with the oregano flavor. |
| 3 | Add four sprigs of fresh oregano to the boiling vinegar. The heat will help release the essential oils and flavors from the oregano leaves, infusing them into the vinegar. |
| 4 | Once the oregano is added, remove the saucepan from the heat source. Allowing the vinegar to cool slightly helps prevent accidents and ensures safe handling. |
| 5 | Let the vinegar cool down naturally, uncovered, until it reaches room temperature. This step allows the flavors to meld and ensures that the vinegar is safe to handle. |
| 6 | Once the vinegar has cooled, remove the oregano sprigs from the saucepan. Using a sterilized bottle, carefully pour the infused vinegar into it. |
| 7 | Add the remaining four sprigs of fresh oregano to the bottle. These additional sprigs will enhance the flavor and aroma of the oregano vinegar. |
| 8 | Seal the bottle tightly to prevent any contaminants from entering. A tight seal also helps preserve the freshness and flavor of the infused vinegar. |
| 9 | Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least one week before using. Allowing the vinegar to steep for an extended period enhances the flavor and ensures a more robust infusion of oregano. |
