How To Make Pine Vinegar
This pine vinegar infuses the refreshing smell of pine into white distilled vinegar that is great to use in cleaning and many every day applications!
Yield: 1 Quart
Cost: Under $5
Equipment
- Quart glass jar I like to use canning jars but any upcycled, air tight jar will work.
- Parchment paper (optional, but highly recommend to avoid corrosion)
Materials
- 1 Quart jar full of fresh pine needles
- 10-25 oz Distilled Vinegar
Instructions
- Harvest enough pine needles to fill most of the jar you’ve chosen.
- If you’ve chosen pine needles from a recently broken branch, remove just the needles and add to your jar.
- Once filled, add enough vinegar to cover all the pine needles.
- Add a piece of parchment paper between the lid and vinegar, secure lid of your jar with and shake well.
- Place the filled jar in a cool, dark area of your home.
- Shake the jar every other day for a week. Continue to shake once a week for 4 weeks.
- After 4 weeks, or your desired steeping time, strain vinegar into a new jar for storage.
- Use as desired.
