Me! Me! Well, sorta;) I used to do this with white vinegar. I would run it through my coffee maker (I have just for hair use -I don't drink coffee) and put in catnip, rosemary and occasoinally patchouli for the scent. I let it brew for several hours then strain through a coffee filter. I liked the results but recently switched to ACV and have not done it with that yet. Once I even infused the white vinegar with a camomille tea bag! I may just have to go home and make some infused ACV tonight:)

I don't, but that sounds like a really cool idea!

Stuff like this makes me want to :happydance:

I haven't though to infuse it into the vinegar itself but I have made rinses by making infusions of chamomile, lavender and or rosemary and added the vinegar to that. I only use a small amount of vinegar in rinses so I don't think I'd get the full benefits of the herbs if they were only in the vinegar.

I infuse my ACV with chamomile tea bags. I also use catnip tea on my hair, but I have never put the catnip in the ACV. I'll have to think about that. :)

So...if I have some dried Chamomile, I can just put it in the ACV/water mix I keep in my shower?! That would be lovely...

I scent my ACV with rosemary, but I don't heat it. I just put rosemary spikes into a bottle, fill it with ACV, screw the lid on and leave it in the sun for a few weeks.

I've posted this picture before, but might as well do it again. :D

I did a straight avc rinse and followed it with a chamomile and peppermint tea (16 fl. oz., three tea bags each herb) after. It has worked well for me so far. I have been doing the tea rinse for a few days, and the gold undertones in my hair are showing nicely. :D
