SEASONED RICE VINEGAR
I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Substituting Ingredients An A To Z Kitchen Reference. I plan to use Splenda in place of the sugar.

SEASONED VINEGAR
I started making my own seasoned rice vinegar when I was in the middle of a recipe that called for it and I didn' have any. The taste is very close to what I was buying, and a lot cheaper on the wallet. After some time I started making my own seasoned vingegar with different kinds of vinegar. I usually keep a bottle of apple cider, red wine, and white seasoned vinegars in my pantry. I especially like having it handy for making salad dressings because I don't need to add additional salt or sugar. I slice cucumbers and/or tomatoes when they are in season and maybe add a little garlic and some sliced onions and drench them in the seasoned vinegar for a nice snack or side salad.

Steps:
- Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a saucepan or container that will not react to the vinegar acids.
- Heat just enough to completely dissolve the sugar and salt. Cool and bottle, I like to let mine cool completely before using.
- Cook's note: I see no reason why Splenda could not be used in place of the white sugar, and sea salt used in place of regular table salt.
- (In my original recipe I used 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt to a cup of vinegar. I wanted to cut back a little on the sugar and salt, but maintain the taste.).
Tips:
- Choose the right vinegar: Different vinegars have different flavors, so choose one that will complement the dish you're making. Some popular choices include apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your vinegar a more vibrant flavor. Some good choices include basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic, and peppercorns.
- Let the vinegar infuse for at least a week: The longer you let the vinegar infuse, the more flavorful it will be. However, you can start using it after just a few days if you're short on time.
- Store the vinegar in a cool, dark place: Vinegar will keep for several months when stored in a cool, dark place. However, the flavor will start to fade after a few months, so it's best to use it within a year.
- Use seasoned vinegar in a variety of dishes: Seasoned vinegar can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, marinades, sauces, and dressings. It can also be used to deglaze a pan after cooking meat or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Seasoned vinegar is a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your food, try making your own seasoned vinegar.
