Peppery Nasturtium Vinegar

 

2 C. nasturtium blossoms, washed and dried

1 C. nasturtium leaves

¼ C. chopped chives

2 sprigs rosemary

2 T. black peppercorns

4 C. white wine vinegar

 

Place flowers, leaves, chives, rosemary, and peppercorns in a jar; add vinegar. Cover with lid (if metal, put a sheet of plastic wrap in between the lid and jar). Steep for 2–3 weeks. Strain through cheesecloth into a bottle. Store in a cool, dark place.  NOTE: Add this peppery, flower- and herb-infused vinegar to stews and soups, or use it to make vinaigrette.
