Lemon Herb Infused Vinegar


For gardeners, Summer months are the best months, enjoying harvests and experimenting with new recipes.



Thanks to reading the entire China Bayles series by Susan Wittig Albert during winter, lots of new to me herbal ideas have been crossing my radar.  I love how her books include recipes and crafts!  Through a bit of trial and error, I've found a vinegar blend that I love using!


Lemon Herb Infused Vinegar

5 sprigs Lemon Balm

3 sprigs Thyme

1 Lemon Wedge

1/2 cup White Wine Vinegar

Rinse herbs, remove any brown or damaged leaves.  Dry thoroughly.  Place herbs with lemon wedge in pint jar, cover with vinegar.  Place in cool dry location, for about two weeks, shaking daily.  Strain and re bottle vinegar in clean jar.

This has been such a delicious treat.  It has found its way into all kinds of things, which of course will be revealed soon!

Are you enjoying Summer?

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

This project has already failed twice.  TWICE!   Originally, I wanted to create a sustainable gazing ball that could be used for many seasons.  A beautiful glass gazing ball has been purchased for my garden every year and every year something happens to break it.  There has to be a better way!
