When using vinegars in herbal medicine making, it's great to know what the original plant was that went into the vinegar and what the process was so that you can appreciate the plant and understand the deeper story of the herbal medicine you're making.
Herbal vinegars can be taken directly, but they are usually integrated into foods and drinks in the following ways:
use in dressings instead of plain vinegar.
add to the liquid when cooking beans or rice
add to soups
add a splash to water to drink
Making Infused Vinegar
