To create herb vinegar you first need a good base. This can be an apple or wine vinegar. To this, you add spices or herbs. The most popular herbs used are oregano and thyme but you can use basil, garlic, mint, rosemary and sage. No two herbal vinegars will taste the same since the choice of herbs, spices and vinegar base will vary.

Herbal vinegars can be used in cooking, but they can also be helpful in deodorizing your home. Rather than using commercial air fresheners, boiling from herbal vinegar with rescent your home and help neutralize less pleasant odors.
