Rose Petal Vinegar

• 2 cups (tightly packed) fragrant edible red rose petals
• 1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar

1. Push the rose petals into a clean 12- to 16-ounce glass bottle, using a chopstick to pack them down if necessary.
2. Set a funnel into the top of the bottle.
3. In a small nonreactive saucepan, warm the vinegar over moderate heat until hot to the touch.
4. Pour the vinegar through the funnel into the bottle.
5. Using a chopstick, push the petals down to disperse them in the vinegar.
6. Allow the vinegar to cool to room temperature and then secure the lid or trim a cork to fit the top.
7. Let the vinegar sit in a cool dark spot until bright red and fragrant, about 1 week.
8. Strain the vinegar to remove the petals.
