Part of our Holiday Gifts for Food Lovers series.
Why try? Dazzle the hostess with this impressive gourmet herb vinegar wreathed in fresh thyme. Everyone will think you worked all afternoon to prepare this specialty vinegar. For a festive presentation wrap sprigs of left-over fresh thyme or rosemary with floral wire into a small wreath shape, wrap with ribbon and place around top of bottle.
Foodie Byte: Champagne vinegar has a pale gold appearance and delicate aroma. This cool-steep method gently infuses champagne vinegar with the flavor of aromatic thyme and fresh lemon zest slowly over time as it steeps. In a hurry- heat vinegar before adding herbs and lemon zest to release the flavor faster.
