Four Thieves Vinegar

Having some spare time I thought I'd mix up a batch of this for the winter. It needs to soak for around a month so it should be ready by early autumn.

The legend surronding the vinegar is very well known and there are lots of different recipies. I used one using just culinary herbs I had to hand as I want to be able to use it as an immune system booster for the winter especially as this summer has been so grim so far.



So the contents are:

• a bottle of decent red wine vinegar 
• 4 heads of garlic ( according to Judika Illes you can never have enough garlic - we'll see!) 
• crushed black pepper, 
• dried rosemary, 
• dried thyme

• dried coriander.

It looks fairly horrid at the moment as you can see- once it is strained and bottled at the end of August I hope it will be more appealing. If not I'll just use it to banish the overwintering mice!
