    2      cups          rice wine vinegar
    6                    black whole peppercorns
    1      chunk         peeled fresh ginger (about 1 1/2 x 3/4 x
                         3/8 inch)
    1      thin 1-inch   strip lemon zest
    1      14- to 15-    inch stalk lemon grass
 
 Combine the vinegar, peppercorns, ginger, and lemon zest in a clean and dry
 16-oz bottle. Trim the bottom of the lemon grass, remove the outer leaf, and
 cut it in half crosswise. Add the lemon grass to the bottle. Seal with a
 cork and steep for 1 week. The vinegar should be ready to use immediately
 after steeping, with a shelf life of at least 1 year.
