3. Heat the vinegar in a pot until it is warm, but not too hot to touch. Skip this step If you do not intend to consume the vinegar.
4. Pour the vinegar into the bottle to within 1/4 inch of its lip.
5. Place the cork or lid on the bottle tightly enough to prevent air from escaping.
6. Store herb vinegar bottles to be consumed in a dark, cool space for three to four weeks before consumption. Purely decorative vinegar herb bottles may be placed anywhere. A sunny window will highlight the beauty of the bottle and its contents.
