Directions

  1. It’s easy to make a tarragon vinaigrette using fresh tarragon and a good quality vinegar. ≈ 3 min
  2. It is primarily used in salads and sauces, but also in any dish that highlights the delicate and subtle flavor of tarragon. ≈ 3 min
  3. Of course, this vinaigrette can also be used in more flavorful dishes, but it would be a shame to do so. ≈ 3 min
  4. To achieve good results, it is essential to use high-quality ingredients: the tarragon should be used as fresh as possible, and vinegar should not be skimped on. ≈ 3 min
  5. It is impossible to make high-quality tarragon vinegar using cheap vinegar; therefore, it is best to use a good-quality wine vinegar. ≈ 3 min
  6. Young shoots, harvested before they bloom, are roughly chopped. ≈ 3 min
  7. Fill a large glass halfway with the leaves, and pour in vinegar (red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar). ≈ 10 min
  8. To add variety to the flavor, you can add the zest of one untreated lemon and 2 cloves of cloves. ≈ 3 min
  9. Next, cover the glass and place it in a sunny spot for two to four weeks, shaking it daily. ≈ 3 min
  10. Next, filter (a tea strainer is ideal) and pour into bottles. ≈ 3 min
  11. For decoration, add a sprig of fresh parsley to each bottle. ≈ 2 min
  12. Collected by: Marada ≈ 3 min
