[Sca-cooks] Flavored vinegar

[Robin]

I'm thinking of making some flavored vinegar, probably rose vinegar.  
The "Obra de Agricultura" says it can be made with dried roses.  That 
suits me, because I can buy food-safe rosebuds in the health food store, 
and I don't have a source of pesticide-free fresh roses.

The "recipe" calls for steeping the roses in the vinegar, and leaving 
the bottle in a sunny place for 40 days.  This seems similar to modern 
recipes I've seen for homemade herb vinegars.

Any comments?  Is this a safe method, assuming that I sterilize the 
bottle first?
