ROSEMARY-INFUSED VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pour the rice vinegar through a funnel into a 20-ounce bottle. Gently add the rosemary, orange zest and garlic cloves to the bottle until completely submerged. Add a tight-fitting spout with a rubber stopper. You can use the vinegar right away or refrigerate it for up to 1 month to allow the flavors to marry and infuse the vinegar. The longer the vinegar sits, the more the flavors will infuse.
