2 Use to fill the jar, tucking in the zest and chillies and packing down.
Pour over the vinegar, seal tightly and shake once or twice. Stand on a
sunny windowsill for 3-5 days. Strain.

3 For a stronger perfume, put the petals of four more flowers, heeled, in
the jar and pour over the strained vinegar. Leave tightly sealed on a sunny
windowsill for three to five days. Strain again. Bottle and seal tightly
and store in a cool dark place.
