Herb Infused Vinegar

These make great gifts, as they look beautiful sitting out and are such a treat to cook with (delish!). They are SO easy. I got the information for these from the new issue of Southern Living, but there are tons of ways you can make a great one... use whatever you've got in the pantry.

Each recipe yields about 2 cups and takes about 15 mins to prepare.
