Leftover Champagne Vinegar
Use leftover champagne or sparkling white wine to make a champagne vinegar that'll become a great champagne vinaigrette for salads after 30 days.
Equipment
- Mason jar with a tight fitting lid
- Cheesecloth or clean white handkerchief
Ingredients
- 1 cup champagne or dry sparkling white wine (or however much vinegar you want to have later)
- 30 days
Instructions
- Pour the champagne or sparkling white wine into a clean mason jar. Use a rubber band to secure the cheesecloth or handkerchief completely across the opening of the jar.
- Store in a cool, dark cabinet that you look in frequently enough to remember the champagne vinegar is there.
- Set a reminder on your phone, and/or a note on the jar for 20 days out.
- After 30 days, smell to see if it is sufficiently vinegary smelling. If so, put the lid on the vinegar. If not, replace the cheesecloth across the opening and wait another week or so. You'll know when it has turned if you have ever smelled any kind of vinegar before.
