I harvested some thyme from my herb bed, picked over and washed it before chopping into small pieces. I put it in a clean jar with homemade kombucha vinegar and set my self a reminder to shake everyday.

Two weeks later, I strained the herbs, washed up the jar and poured back the infusion.

Here are my pictures

I grew this thyme last year and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it's cold hardy enough to come back after the winter! So here I go harvesting it..... I infused it in home-made apple cider vinegar for a couple weeks and strained it out. Yum! Now I wish I had made more

My Thyme on this planet goes on. This thyme as vinegar!

I was and am still very happy to see the gorgeous pink colour the vinegar took after soaking the flowers with the leaf.

Here's apple cider vinegar that infused for a few weeks with fresh thyme from my garden.
I love the smell of the finished vinegar. Very thyme-y!

I created thyme infused vinegar.  When I merged the vinegar with the thyme on Sept 2, I mis-labeled it "Sept 2024" instead of "Sept 2, 24" so I corrected it in the finished labeled jar.

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
- picture of the thyme being harvested
- picture of the infused vinegar being made
- picture of the finished vinegar in its labelled jar

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I created a thread dedicated to my countdown to PEP2, please come visit and ask a question!
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!
This one is mostly for myself because I highly recommend using this BB tracking spreadsheet and I need a faster way to locate it when I want to share it with potential SKIPpers.
