What are you planning to do once you retire? Start traveling, take up golf, maybe plant an herb garden and make your own fragrant, flavorful herbal vinegars?
I’ll probably do a little bit of what I’ve always done, because I don’t believe in waiting to start my best life. I want to live it now!
That’s why my husband & I take so many trips, even though I’m still working to catch-up retirement savings. He likes to remind me of an old guy he worked with years ago, whose retirement plans included traveling to exotic places with his wife. Unfortunately, by the time this couple retired, their health was so poor that travel had become impossible.
So, my husband and I travel as much as we can right now, and I dabble in my favorite herbal hobbies. Herb gardening is a big one, along with making herbal crafts and gifts.

Herbal Vinegars
Herbal vinegars are one of the first things I learned to make after planting and growing herbs. I ended up with an abundant garden. Almost too abundant – there were more herbs than our family could eat! What to do with the overflow?
After thinking about it, I realized that I could use my herb garden overflow to create fancy herbal vinegars. Easy to make and low calorie (only 2 calories per tablespoon), herbal vinegars serve as a delightful seasoning to many foods. In addition, making your own herbal vinegars will help to keep you healthy and save you money, too!
Since we changed our money story and have been trying to catch-up retirement savings, we stay out of restaurants as much as possible. Yet, we don’t feel deprived because herbal vinegars give our meals a gourmet flare!
Using herbal vinegars to season food instead of salt adds a flavorful accent to homecooked meals, especially if you’re avoiding salt due to hypertension. (Not only is restaurant fare expensive, it’s often very high in salt). Therefore, herbal vinegars are perfect to use when you’re watching your blood pressure.
I once gave a presentation to a group participating in the DASH diet, to help them learn to replace salt with herbs, spices and herbal vinegars.
Herbal vinegars are truly beautiful and tasty, whether you give them away or decide to keep them for yourself. And believe me, you will want to keep some for yourself!
To get you started, I’ve included some basic information on the equipment you will need to make your own herbal vinegars, types of vinegars to use, and herb combinations to try.
How to Make Incredible Herbal Vinegars
The equipment required to make your own herbal vinegars is readily available and easy to obtain. You may already have most of it in your own kitchen!
You will need: sterilized wide-mouth glass jars, non-metallic utensils, cheesecloth, fancy glass bottles with non-metallic lids (the metal is reactive to vinegar), pretty ribbons and decorative labels. Of course, you will also need fresh or freshly dried culinary herbs and various types of vinegar.
Types of Vinegar
There are many types of base vinegar that are fun to experiment with, and certain ones taste better with specific herbs.
Most Popular
Apple cider vinegar is a mild flavored, light brown vinegar made from apples. It is enhanced by the addition of apple scented mints, pineapple sage, or other fragrant culinary herbs.
Wine vinegars are among the most flavorful vinegars and very popular for making herbal vinegars. Red wine vinegar is attractive to the eye and has a mildly robust taste, making it an excellent choice for infusing stronger herbs such as rosemary.
White wine vinegar shows off herb sprigs in the finished bottles beautifully and will take on a lovely pink hue when infused with purple basils or certain edible herb flowers such as chive blossoms. You’ll get a nice toasty onion flavor with chive blossoms!
Because of its delicate flavor, white wine vinegar is very versatile, and most herbs work well with it. A classic herb vinegar is white wine vinegar infused with fresh tarragon leaves, which has a faint anise flavor that is delicious with chicken, fish, veggies and even fruit!
Most Unique
Champagne vinegar also has a delicate flavor and is perfect with many flavorful herb combinations. I don’t usually have leftover champagne or wine, but if you have some lying around that has turned to vinegar, feel free to use it as a base for your herbal vinegars.
Malt vinegar is dark brown in color with a strong but pleasant taste. It’s great to use with peppery, spicy herbs like nasturtium leaves & flowers, savory, chives, and chilies.
The One Vinegar to Avoid
Distilled white vinegar is the only vinegar to avoid when making herbal vinegars. Although it is useful for making pickles and coloring eggs, it is simply too sour and harsh for the delicate flavors of herbs.
Adding the Herbs
Once you’ve selected which variety of base vinegar to use, you’re ready to add your herbs. Either fresh or dried herbs can be used, but fresh herbs will give your finished herbal vinegars more flavor.
Some of my favorite herb combinations:
- Basil, thyme, garlic, oregano, and marjoram.
- Lemon verbena, lemon grass, and cinnamon basil.
- Rosemary and mint.
- Cilantro, garlic, chilies and sun-dried tomatoes.
Have you ever purchased an expensive herbal vinegar in a store that looked pretty with a sprig or two of herbs inside the bottle, but tasted flavorless once you brought it home and opened it? There’s a good chance that the reason it tasted so bland was because the manufacturer only used that one herb sprig!
You want your homemade herb vinegars to be bursting with fragrance and flavor! But the way to achieve that is by using a lot of herbs, not just a sprig or two.
Gather your herbs. If using fresh herbs, gently wash and give them time to dry completely (water residue may make your finished herb vinegar cloudy). You can also pat the herbs dry, because bruising them will release the essential oils in the plant material, releasing their fragrance and flavor.
Pack a wide-mouth jar FULL to the top with lightly chopped fresh herbs, peeled garlic cloves, bright red chili peppers, etc. If you’re using dried herbs, only fill your jar half-way to the top (or it will overflow when you add the vinegar). Avoid using powdered herbs because they will also make your vinegar cloudy.
Maker’s Tip
Use a wide-mouth jar so it’s easy to get the herbs out when it’s time to strain the vinegar. Add a few perfect herbs for decoration to the finished bottles, later.
Cover your herbs completely with the base vinegar and cap with a non-reactive lid. Shake it up and add your magic by saying “Health & vitality from the garden!” if you like. Set your jar in a cool, dark area, such as inside a kitchen cabinet or pantry for two weeks.
You need a minimum of two weeks for the flavors to fully develop into a rich tasting herbal vinegar.
After two weeks or more, strain completely using cheesecloth or a mesh strainer. Next, squeeze every drop of your delicious herb infused vinegar from the spent herbs. Go ahead and compost these herbs, as they are no longer needed.
Rebottle your finished, strained herb infused vinegar into decorative bottles and add a few perfectly fresh herb sprigs inside the bottle for decoration. You can also add pretty labels, stickers and ribbons to the outside of the bottles if you plan to give some of them away. Certainly herbal vinegars make beautiful gifts!
Culinary Tips
Many cooks use herb vinegars only when tossing a salad. But there more ways to use herb vinegars to spark the flavor factor of meals.
The creative cook will always have a well-stocked pantry of flavored herbal vinegars and is not afraid to experiment.
Herbal vinegars enhance many fruits (especially champagne based herbal vinegars), vegetables, fish and chicken dishes. For extra zip, add a splash to soups, stews, sauces, gravies, scrambled or deviled eggs. Use as a poaching liquid for fish or eggs.
Increase the flavor factor by adding a touch of herbal vinegar to ground meat dishes and to stuffing mixes. Add a dash to stir-fry and use as a base for sweet and sour dishes. Instead of salt, lightly sprinkle herb vinegar over your food.
Other Herbal Vinegar Uses & Ideas
Herbal Vinegars for Beauty
In addition to culinary uses, herbal vinegars can be used for cosmetic purposes. A lavender infused herbal vinegar makes a lovely skin toner to be used after cleansing the face, or as a rinse to replace your hair’s protective acid mantle after shampooing. Herbal vinegars can also be customized with skin soothing herbs like calendula, sage & lavender to create an effective aftershave.
Health Enhancing Herbal Vinegars
Herbal vinegars can also be used in the diet as part of a healthy lifestyle, to improve nutrition or enhance immunity.
For example, I like to infuse mineral rich herbs and spices together with apple cider vinegar to create a High Calcium Herbal Vinegar. Follow the directions above for making herbal vinegar, but choose a combination of high calcium herbs and spices. My favorites include stinging nettle, oatstraw, alfalfa, horsetail, raspberry leaf, savory, sage, dill seed, fennel seed, cumin seed, coriander seed, caraway seed, borage, parsley, basil, marjoram, thyme, or rosemary.
Many herbs and spices have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. As a result, there is a long history of using herbs in traditional folk remedies. One famous blend takes us back to medieval times, when four young grave robbers protected themselves from catching the plague by dousing themselves with this strong immune boosting herbal vinegar!
Immune Boosting Herbal Vinegar
- 1/2 cup lavender flowers
- 1/4 cup thyme
- 1/2 cup sage leaves
- 1/2 cup rosemary
- 8 – 10 cloves raw garlic, peeled & chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons whole juniper berries
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Combine herbs and spices in a wide-mouth glass jar, leaving 2 – 3 inches of headspace. Next, cover the herbs with apple cider vinegar, cap with a non-reactive lid, and let the mixture steep for 4 weeks. Finally, your herbal vinegar is ready to strain and enjoy!
Eco-Friendly, Inexpensive Household Cleaner
But it doesn’t end there! Vinegar has a long history of use as an inexpensive cleaner! By infusing vinegar with antiseptic or antifungal herbs like thyme and lavender, you can make your own eco-friendly low-cost glass and surface cleaner. No toxic fumes!
Can You Save Money Making Herbal Vinegars?
Yes, you’ll save money by making your own herbal vinegars for use in the kitchen, for your skincare routine, and for cleaning! If you’re thinking about making homemade holiday gifts (people LOVE getting gifts made from the heart & home) you will save money, too.
How About Making Money?
You may discover that friends and extended family members love your herbal vinegars so much, they ask for more! As a result, you begin to think about starting a little business.
If you’ve come up with a few crowd-pleasing herbal vinegar recipes, you might consider selling herbal vinegars as a side hustle. Check the rules for selling herbal products in your area and get started! You may be able to sell at a farmer’s market, at craft fairs, in consignment shops, or online.
Final Thoughts
Making your own herbal vinegar is fun and rewarding, whether you do it to use up an abundant garden harvest or to share your creations with foodie friends. Either way, you’ll save money on your food budget, and save money by making lovely homemade gifts.
As always, I encourage you to take the money you save and add it to your retirement accounts! If you start selling your beautiful herbal vinegars as a side hustle, you’ll be able to add one more income stream to help catch-up retirement savings.
If you’re already retired, selling your herbal creations can bring in some extra cash from a fun hobby.

Thanks, Mai! It’s a lot of fun and a good way to use up herbs from your garden. Try it and then come back to share of picture of what you make!
I love herbal vinegars on salads. I hadn’t realized they had so many other uses as well–maybe I’ll start using them as a toner too.
Thanks for the great post.

Great, so glad you liked it, Lia! Yum, that sounds delicious!
I actually never thought about making my own vinegar so this was such a fun post to read and very helpful! Thank you for sharing! I think I have to try this soon.
xoxo Simone | https://beautymone.com
It’s pretty easy to make herbal vinegars, Simone! So glad you enjoyed reading & found it helpful!
I looove me a good vinegar, but I’ve never had herbal vinegars before! Will definitely have to try this. I’d imagine they would be a good palate cleanser after all that rich Christmas food too. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it would be a great palate cleanser, J! There are some “sipping vinegars” on the market, but you can make your own lovely herbal ones much cheaper.
Oooh! I love herbal vinegars. It is great when you can make it at home and even give it as a gift. It shows that it is coming from within. Love that it is easy to make as well! It looks super fancy – thanks for sharing these tips!!
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
Definitely, Nancy! Friends, family and co-workers really appreciate gifts that you’ve put your time and love into! Thanks for stopping by!
This is wonderful and I love your creations! I’m going to give a couple of these a try!
Thanks so much, Yaya! Please come back and share a photo of your creations with us!
Thanks so much, Yaya! I’ll be curious to find out which recipes you try so be sure to come back and share your successes with us!
What a sweet idea to fill up the make-it-yourself gift shelf! Putting a good herbal vinegar in a cute bottle would look beautiful with a ribbon tied around it, and using it would be a pleasure.
Thanks for sharing another way to make gift-giving special.
Jaya, I’m glad you enjoyed this post – thanks for your kind comments!
This is so interesting. I plan on planting my first herb garden this year and I’ll be referencing this post then.
These would make amazing and thoughtful housewarming gifts.
Thanks, Sarah! Making herbal vinegars from your own herb garden is such a joy! You’re right, they would make a lovely housewarming gift.
I’ve thought of making everything but vinegar! But given that I want a big garden, I should look into it!
Perfect, Ash! Herbal vinegars are a wonderful way to use up the bounty of a large garden!
So cool! I love doing crafty things in the kitchen. Especially when they look as pretty as that pink lavender one! These would make beautiful DIY gifts.
Yes, Riana, herbal vinegars make lovely and unique gifts! Would love to see a photo if you make some. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh wow! I had never thought I could make my own vinegar from the little herbs I grow. Fabulous post and pretty photos! This is great for the environment too because the ones I find are packaged in plastic. Thank you for introducing me to herbal vinegars 🙂
That’s a great point, Georgianne – when you make your own herbal vinegars not only do you control the quality of the ingredients, but you also control the packaging! It’s really hard to avoid purchasing products in plastic, so being able to select glass bottles for your homemade herbal vinegars is a plus. It helps the environment in two ways – you can reuse or repurpose glass bottles for your herbal vinegar creations, and a lot of plastic doesn’t get recycled anyway, so glass is better. If you reuse glass bottles, you’re saving money, too!
This is such a great idea! I have never tried to make my own herbal vinegars before!
Thanks for stopping by, Charity! I hope you will give herbal vinegars a try. Be sure to pop back in and post a photo if you do!
Never thought of making my own herbal vinegar at home..We use several types of vinegar in our daily life..This post is loaded with information..Thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it, Aditi! Would love to hear more about the ways you use herbal vinegar at home. Do you use vinegars for more than cooking, such as cosmetic uses? I didn’t mention it in my post, but vinegar also makes an excellent and inexpensive cleaner.
This is really useful! Will make sure that I try this sometime x
Thanks for reading & commenting, Bedia! Make sure to come back & post a photo if you make a batch of herbal vinegar!
I have never considered making my own vinegar before! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, I’ve never heard of this before! This looks amazing and much fun to do actually. Thank you for sharing this! x
It is a lot of fun, Giulia! I hope you give it a try. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!
I never liked oil & vinegar dressings because, they tasted like vinegar! Maybe this is the secret!
One question, what kind of jars do you use if the lids can’t be metal or plastic?
There are some vinegars that have stronger (and more harsh) flavors than others, Norma. You might try experimenting with rice vinegars, wine vinegars, or champagne vinegars, which are milder.
When you make your herbal vinegars, it is important to use glass bottles or jars, but a plastic lid is OK. Cork is even better and you can purchase new corks from beer or wine making supply places or online. Thanks for your comment and question!
This is such a useful post! I will have to give making herbal vinegars a go myself! ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it, Maddie! Would love to hear which herbs you use, and how your herbal vinegar turns out. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve never had flavour vinegar before will give it a try
Hope you enjoy trying a variety of different herbal vinegars! Thanks for stopping by, An English woman abroad!
Thanks for this really detailed post! I’ve never tried making my own vinegar before, but now it feels like I have all the time in the world to try and do so while staying at home.
Thank you, Bella Vita Blog! Yep, now is a great time to start!
This is such a great idea, and I love how detailed this blog post is! I’ve never made my own vinegars before, but I have made my own flavoured olive oil which was great. I’m about to plant some of my own herbs so I’ll be bookmarking this post for later. Thanks for sharing 🧡
Beka | http://www.bekadaisies.com
Aw, thank you, Beka! If you’ve made herb-infused olive oil before, you’ll have no trouble making herbal vinegars. In fact, it’s probably easier!
I’ve never tried to make anything like that myself although I have been guilty of buying one of those ones in the pretty bottles from the health food shop before. Thankfully they’ve always been relatively flavourful though 😂. I need to try this for myself, the basil, thyme, garlic, oregano, and marjoram suggestion sounds delicious! x
Sophie
Glad you didn’t get a flavorless bottle from your local shop, Sophie. You will enjoy making your own & may be surprised how much better it will taste!
Wow, this was such a fascinating read, I had no idea you could do so much with vinegar. The lemon verbena, lemon grass, and cinnamon basil mix sounds wonderful, absolutely delicious. And I didn’t know you could use vinegar in skincare either, that was very interesting. The lavender toner must be amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙂
Lisa | http://www.lisasnotebook.com
Thank you, Lisa! I appreciate your feedback! Glad to hear how much you enjoyed the post, and I hope you give making your own herbal vinegars a try.
This is such a useful post. I’ll be sure to check this out once my herbs get growing!
Great! Wonderful that you have an herb garden, Jess. There are so many ways to use herbs to boost heath or even make a little extra money, such as selling herbal vinegars to boost savings!
I just started growing herbs in my garden again, so I’ll have to try some of these herb vinegar recipes! We love cooking and making dressings with vinegar too. I can’t wait to experiment once my herbs get a little bigger. Thank you for sharing!
It is so much fun to experiment, Ann! One tip I use is to keep a small notebook with the ingredients I’ve used in my herbal vinegars, and the dates I’ve started infusing the herbs. It helps me to remember my favorite herbal vinegar blends so I can make them again!
Oooh this is so interesting, I’m definitely going to give this a go!
Love, Amie ❤

Since I’m home now and I have time, I’ve been playing with the idea of making my own dressing for my salads. I’m so glad I found this post because I have apple cider vinegar, thyme, oregano, and garlic. Can’t wait to try. Great post!
Thanks, Shari J! You have all the ingredients to create a wonderful herbal vinegar! Bonus: thyme, oregano & garlic are all immune boosting herbs with anti-viral and other health promoting properties.

Nice blog 🧚🏻♀️
Thanks, Saania!
I appreciate your feedback!
A few years ago, I made some fruit peel vinegar and used it for salad dressings. It was delicious and a healthy alternative to store bought dressings. I have never tried herbal vinegar before though so now I want to. Your lavender vinegar looks right up my alley. Thanks!
The process for making fruit peel vinegar would be similar to making tasty herbal vinegars, Brooke. I would love to hear if you end up making the lavender vinegar! Thanks for stopping by, Brooke!

I love champagne vinegar but it’s hard to find. I think I’ll give this a try and make some. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, champagne vinegar may be a little harder to find, Sue. I’ve found it at specialty shops, gourmet food shops, sometimes at Trader Joe’s, and even import stores like Cost Plus. Glad you enjoyed the post!
Wow this seems like a great way to save a bit of money, and they sound amazing! Thank you for sharing 🙂
You can save quite a bit of money, Eleanor! I hope you will try creating your own herbal vinegars!

http://www.lynnmumbingmejia.com
Thank you, Lynn! You can be very creative with herbs & your taste buds will be pleased!
I never thought about making my own vinegar and now asking why not! It sounds like a great experience and you get something different to use while cooking, I am not a huge fan of salt so this would be such a great way to give flavour to food and will need to let my dad read this, he would be over the moon! x
Yes! Herbal vinegars make very flavorful salt substitutes, Cristina!
This is a great idea and I am gonna share it with my mom because she will love it. Plus it’s a great way to save money. Overall loved your post! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Harsha | https://dreamwithharsha.com/
You can definitely save a lot of money by making your own herbal vinegars instead of buying them, Harsha. Plus, they are so much fresher!
I hadn’t heard of Champagne vinegar before. I need to try that before I try mixing it with the other herbs. The idea of making herb infused vinegars I think is new to me. This certainly sounds interesting and I think my partner’s mum would really like this idea. I’ll be sharing it with her
