Rose Petal Vinegar

This is a lovely vinegar that can be used either in a salad dressing or in the bath – you can choose.  If you use it as a salad dressing, use sunflower, grape or canola oil.  Olive is too strong and masks the flavour.

Fill a clean glass jar with rose petals – they can be any type as long as they are scented, but red will give a beautiful colour.

Cover the petals with red wine vinegar and leave for 2-3 weeks in a light area (not direct sunlight) If you do not have enough petals to fill the jar, you can do it over a few days, just add as the roses bloom.

Strain into a clean, sterlised bottle and label.
