2. Remove it from the heat and add in the garlic, bay leaf, Mixed Herbs, a few sage leaves, cloves and coriander.
3. Leave it covered for several hrs or possibly overnight.
4. Place a cloth or possibly several pcs of cheesecloth over a funnel and strain the vinegar into a bottle.
5. For the Mixed Herbs: Cultivated marjoram may, by all means, be added and, if one likes, a couple of leaves each of sage and dry mint, crumbled finely.
6. Combine the savory, thyme, oregano, rosemary and bay leaf.
7. Store in a small, tightly closed jar.
8. Leftover Mixed Herbs would go nicely in an omelet or possibly vinaigrette.
