Types of vinegar - Flavored vinegar

Flavored vinegars have been in use in different parts of the world for thousands of years, at least as far back as the Babylonians. Red, white and rice vinegars are the most commonly used, in which any variety or combination of flavoring agents are steeped. Imagination is the only limiting factor when it comes to making flavored vinegars. The most common are those using herbs and spices, though flowers, fruit and vegetables are other options.
