I made a number of herbal vinegar with different herbs this summer to enrich minerals and vitamins in my diet and reduce the amount of synthetic nutritional supplements that I've been consuming for the past few years. You can find inspiring and useful information
here and
here about why herbal vinegar is so good for your health and how to make herbal vinegar at home at very little cost. I sampled my first one-month-old batch of pine needle vinegar (mostly white pine needles with a little bit of red/black pine needles infused with apple cider vinegar), and it smelled and tasted like balsamic vinegar as some people have described so! Pine needles were free (I'm fortunate to have a husband who loves and owns bonsai pine trees). I used some store-brand apple cider vinegar, reused a jar of jam or something, and put some wax paper under the metal lid to prevent corrosion.
