Chive Blossom Vinegar Recipe (Ways to Use It)

Harvest fresh chive blossoms. For the best results, choose flowers that are fully open but haven’t yet begun to fade or dry out on the plant.

Use a strainer to wash the chive blossoms under cool running water, and shake or gently pat dry with a towel after. The flowers don’t need to be fully dry however.

Add the chive blossoms to a clean jar, or other suitable container with a lid.  Fill the jar at least two-thirds full with flowers. 

Pour vinegar over the blossoms until they are completely submerged and/or until the jar is full. Stir and press the flowers down.

Add a lid, and set the jar aside in a cool dark place (room temperature) to soak and infuse for at least one to two weeks. * (See quick heat method notes below). During the first couple of days, you may want to gently tip or shake the jar to move things around so the top floating blossoms get soaked in vinegar too.

When the time is up, use a colander and/or cheesecloth to strain the chive blossoms from the vinegar. Reserve the vinegar to keep, and compost or discard the used flowers.

Finally, add your beautiful finished chive blossom vinegar to a bottle or jar, and enjoy!

Chive blossom vinegar is safe to store at room temperature for several months, though refrigeration will extend its shelf life for up to a year. Discard if it develops off/putrid odor or becomes cloudy.

Could dry chive blossoms be used? And any tips for drying chive flowers? 
If the blossoms are basically pickled, why toss them? Couldn't they be added to, I don't know, salads, potato salad, pasta, or something? Sadly I forgot about this when mine flowered, had probably around 2 cups worth maybe. Divided the plant earlier and they are both sending a few random flowers up. Thus the wondering if I could dry these and probably have to wait till next year for enough to make vinegar. Then again I need to make some more fire cider and since I'm allergic to pretty much every thing that's supposed to go in that I branch off a lot. Chive flowers would probably go good in that. Basically I use whatever herbs I have in my garden and cupboard. Lol. I mostly use it in cooking rather than drinking. Happy gardening!

Great article, just this morning I saw all all the blossoms on my chives. Can not wait to go home and make some vinegar.

I haven't made this yet, but I love this idea! Have you ever infused vinegar with other herbs? I'm curious to try!

Simple, Beautiful and delicious,,  Thank You for this

Cut stems into 1 inch lengths.  Pour 2 cups of white vinegar into a mason jar.  Add garlic stems and flowers and seal with a lid.  Shake and place in a cool, dark place.  Shake every day or so.

After 3 weeks, taste and if it is to your desired strength, strain into a pretty bottle!

I didn't know that about garlic chives.  The blooms are great
