Thyme, Lemon Peel and Black Pepper Vinegar

1 large sprig fresh thyme
1 long spiral lemon peel
2 heaping tablespoons black peppercorns
2 cups white wine vinegar

Place herbs in a one-pint sterilized jar. Add vinegar and seal tightly. Place in a light-filled window for one month, giving bottle a gentle shake every so often.

To give, tie raffia around the bottle and label.
