How to Make Unsweetened Spiced Vinegar
- Combine 4 cups apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches), 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference) in a non-reactive pot.
- Tie the spices together using cheesecloth or a spice bag to easily remove later.
- Bring the vinegar and spice bag to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let the vinegar cool completely.
- Once cooled, carefully transfer the vinegar and spice bag to an airtight glass or plastic container.
- Steep for at least 1 month to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it steeps, the more intense the flavor will become!
- After 1 month, remove the spice bag. Your Unsweetened Spiced Vinegar is ready to use!
- To make Sweetened Spiced Vinegar: Add 3 1/2 cups of granulated sugar to the infused vinegar, stir until dissolved.
