1 cup of white vinegar (the base of all things magical)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic (for that unforgettable aroma)

Instructions to Brew Your Elixir

In a medium glass jar, combine your vinegar with all the herbs and garlic. Don’t be shy; make sure everything is submerged!
Seal the jar tightly, and give it a little shake. Imagine you’re mixing up some sorcerous potion!
Now, place your jar in a cool, dark place. Let it steep for about 2 weeks — yes, patience is a virtue in the magical arts!
Shake the jar every few days to keep the good vibes flowing. You want those flavors to mingle like old friends at a reunion!
After 14 days, strain out the herbs and garlic using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Save those herbs for a magical compost if you’re feeling eco-chic!
Transfer your vinegar into a new glass bottle for storage, and voilà! Your 4 Thieves Vinegar is ready for action!

Now that you’ve got your potion brewed, there are countless ways to utilize it! Use it in salad dressings for a tangy twist, as a natural cleaner, or even in your magical rituals for a dash of protective energy. Your taste buds and your spirit will both thank you!
