Lemon Garlic Mint Vinegar

4 sprigs fresh mint
3 large cloves garlic
1 (1 1/4-inch wide) spiral lemon rind
1 quart white wine vinegar

Place all three solid ingredients into a sterilized bottle. Add vinegar to completely cover the rest of the ingredients.

Cap bottle, label and let stand in a warm, bright area for about 10 days (but not in direct sunlight), before using.

The vinegar will keep for about 2-3 months stored in a cool, dark place.

Makes 1 quart.
