One of the most elegant yet simple food gifts to make is a bottle of tarragon and chamomile infused vinegar. Not only does the chamomile and tarragon create a delicious flavor profile, this vinegar is so versatile that it can can be used in everything from salad dressings, marinades, to bread dipping sauces. With just 2 minutes of effort, you can create a beautiful work of art that is sure to impress anyone who is lucky enough to receive it.
Tarragon and Chamomile Infused Vinegar
Yield: 2 cups
Active Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours
1/4 c. dried chamomile (if you can’t find it loose, open up a couple packages of chamomile tea)
1 sprig of fresh tarragon
2 c. white wine vinegar
1) Place the chamomile and tarragon sprig into a bottle which has a 2 cup capacity.
2) Add vinegar and cover.
3) Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
Gifting Idea:
Use a clear, tall bottle to showcase the sprig of tarragon and chamomile. For a sophisticated look, use a wine bottle cork for the lid and decorate with a raffia bow. To maximize shelf life, keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
now that is smart idea and easy to do. i actually have all the ingredients. will try it.
I think you’ll love this one Susan!
Oh, Melissa - I adore infusing oils and vinegars. This flavor combination, though, is so unique and special. This is a great gift - a ribbon and bottles can easily be picked up at an Target or similar store during a routine shopping trip. I think that a slice or two of lemon would also compliment the tarragon and chamomile and lend even more beautiful color. Fantastic photos and great props - and I like the flowers in the background of the first photo. Well-done! Cheers - Shanna
