One of the most straightforward recipes for using this herb (or any herb) is this 19th-century hint for making flavored vinegar: Pour plain vinegar over herbs in a bottle and let it sit for a month or so. 

What could be easier?

Rosemary is an amazingly available plant all over the world, and you can clip rosemary from your own live plant or use dried rosemary from the spice drawer.

Uses for Rosemary Vinegar

• Rosemary aids memory and concentration, is an anti-inflammatory, and supports the circulatory system (low blood pressure)—plus, it stimulates fat and starch digestion. 
• In the kitchen, it’s great to add a splash (or more!) into salad dressings, sauces, soups, stews, marinades, pesto, hummus and more! Try drizzling on grain or rice dishes, cooked greens, and sandwiches.
• Use rosemary vinegar to soothe your body. Adding 1 cup to a bath will sooth muscles as well as irritated or red skin (especially if you were in the garden!). You could use as a facial toner as well; if needed, dilute a facial toner down.
• Finally, rosemary vinegar can be used to clean up the kitchen, bathroom, and house. Just put in spray cleaners. The house will smell wonderful, too!
