About

Feel free to use your favourite vinegar in this. The important thing is that it’s good quality and not too acidic. For white, I like sauvignon blanc or rice wine vinegar. Sherry vinegar is good too, but use a little less as it is strong. If using red vinegar, go for a sweet cabernet sauvignon.
