Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh tarragon leaves
• 2 cups white wine vinegar
• 1 piece glass jar with lid (sterilized)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh tarragon leaves thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, ensuring they are completely dry before use.

Step 2

Gently bruise the tarragon leaves by lightly crushing them with your fingers. This helps release their natural oils, enhancing the flavor infusion.

Step 3

Place the bruised tarragon leaves into the sterilized glass jar.

Step 4

Pour the white wine vinegar over the tarragon leaves, completely submerging them in the liquid. Make sure to leave about 1-inch of headspace at the top of the jar.

Step 5

Seal the jar tightly with a lid and store it in a cool, dark place (such as a pantry or cabinet) for 2 to 3 weeks. This resting time allows the tarragon flavor to infuse into the vinegar.

Step 6

After the infusion period, strain the vinegar through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the tarragon leaves. Discard the leaves.

Step 7

Transfer the strained tarragon vinegar into sterilized bottles or jars for storage. Seal tightly and label with the date.

Step 8

Store the tarragon vinegar in a cool, dark place or refrigerator. It will keep for several months.
