  • Summary

  • As I mentioned before, creating something like a magical vinegar is a deeply personal journey, a blend of intuition, experimentation, and tradition. But it’s not a journey you take in complete darkness. There are always clues left behind, remnants of past practitioners’ work that help guide the way. If you’re willing to share your own formulas with me, I may consider sharing mine in return. But for now, I’ll offer you a starting point. One of the oldest recipes for a vinegar steeped in magic and mystery comes from none other than

    The Art of Cookery, Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse, published in 1747. It reads:

    “Take of rue, sage, mint, rosemary, wormwood, and lavender, a handful of each, bruise them together in a gallon of white-wine vinegar, put the whole into a stone pot, closely covered up, upon warm wood-ashes for four days; after which draw off (or strain through fine flannel) the liquid, and put it into bottles well corked; and into every quart bottle put a quarter of an ounce of camphor. With this preparation wash your mouth, and rub your loins and your temples every day; snuff a little up your nostrils when you go into the air, and carry about you a bit of sponge dipped in the same, in order to smell to upon all occasions, especially when you are near any place or person that is infected.”
