Ingredients: Fresh rosemary springs, vinegar (your choice in what kind of vinegar you want to use).
First, use a plastic bag to collect the stuff in your house you don't need or want anymore so you can go to Saver's to get some pretty glass bottles. Worn out socks? Put them in the bag for Savers. A knick knack you got as a gift a twenty years ago but never really liked? Put it in the bag! The "friend" who gave it to you was just using your personal drama as fodder for her gossip habit and besides that she ghosted you five years ago. Plastic measuring cups? Put it in the bag! The average American ingests enough microplastics every week to equal an entire credit card. Besides, the quarter cup was missing from the set anyway. Resolve to only buy metal or ceramic or glass measuring cups from now on.
Second, go to Savers. Bring your bag inside and in your head tell yourself to FOCUS! You are there for pretty glass bottles and that is ALL YOU NEED To Buy! Buy pretty glass bottles. Try not to break them going home.
Third, snip some springs of rosemary and let them dry for a week. I used about ten inches of rosemary stems. In the meantime, wash those pretty glass bottles thoroughly. Use a bottle brush. If a stain remains, put a few grains of rice in the bottle with a half ounce of water and shake it like a dog shakes a stick. Use music to really get the shaking going strong. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the pretty bottles to drain until thoroughly dry.
Fourth, when rosemary has dried for a week, put a few springs into a glass jar. Fill the jar with your vinegar. Now the infusion starts.
Fifth, nine days later, pick some fresh rosemary springs and allow to dry.
Sixth, ten days later, put the fresher rosemary springs into the pretty bottles. Using a funnel and some cheese cloth, pour your infused vinegar into the pretty bottle. Put the covers on your bottles. Add a label. Set your infused vinegar on a windowsill so you can admire your fancy schmancy vinegars.
