Struggling with white vinegar's sharp, pungent smell? You're not alone—this simple citrus infusion trick makes it fresh and inviting.
Eliminate that nose-stinging pickle odor for good!
This natural, budget-friendly recipe is easy to prepare at home. Here's how:
Contents
1. Wash the fruits and pat them dry.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the fruits. Avoid the bitter white pith beneath the colorful outer layer.
3. Fill the glass jars halfway with the citrus peels.
4. Using a funnel, pour white vinegar into each jar, filling almost to the top.
5. Seal the jars and let them macerate in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks. This allows the citrus essential oils to infuse the vinegar.
6. Strain the peels using a funnel and strainer. Discard the peels or recycle them using our tips here.
7. Transfer the infused vinegar to a spray bottle for cleaning or store in a sealed bottle.
Your white vinegar now carries a refreshing citrus aroma!
No more harsh smells after household use—this version is pleasant and addictive.
I used lemon, orange, and lime peels, but experiment with single fruits or mixes like citron, bergamot, or mandarin. Opt for organic produce to avoid pesticides.
