Oh - forgot to add that I also make vinegar with purple basil and garlic. I dilute the vinegar with a bit of water and some rice vinegar til the acidity is where I want it then toss in a bunch of purple basil and a couple garlic cloves. It makes pretty pink vinegar!
My neighbors are all hooked on it :-)
Make salad dressing with the vinegar a bit of dijon and some EVOO - YUM
