Instructions

  • Clean your lilac blossoms. I usually give them a light shake or a quick rinse, then let them dry completely. You don't want extra water diluting your vinegar.
    2. Pull the blossom of the branch. Do not use teh green part because it is bitter.
    3. Place the blossoms into a clean glass jar, loosely packed. Don't crush them; you want the vinegar to flow around each petal.
    4. Pour the apple cider vinegar over the blossoms until they are fully submerged.
    5. Seal the jar and place it in a cool, dark spot. Let it infuse for about two weeks. Every few days, I give it a gentle swirl to keep everything mingling.
    6. After the infusion time, strain the blossoms through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Pour it into a clean bottle.
