Homemade food gifts are always treasured for their thoughtfulness. We suggest giving this herb-infused vinegar to friends with a list of serving suggestions. Here are a few of our favorites: whisk with olive oil to make a dressing, drizzle on onions that are caramelizing in the pan or toss with sliced cucumbers and red onions for a simple pickle.
