Hi Krystal, Chopped or minced garlic mixed with oil will speed the process for botulism compared to using garlic cloves. When you add vinegar (high ratio) to the oil and garlic, it will preserve the garlic and will inhibit the growth of botulism due to its high acid content. Preparing the spiced vinegar with water will definitely create the bacteria for botulism. This is why I don’t use water in my recipe. However, if you are concern about botulism, then I would recommend to refrigerate your spiced vinegar. It will keep up to four months refrigerated. Since we use the spiced vinegar within a week in my home because I make a small amount, I do not refrigerate my spiced vinegar. I am a certified food handler manager and many individuals are not aware that cooked oatmeal and cooked rice that is not refrigerated promptly after cooking can also cause botulism. In our culture, we eat a lot of rice and oatmeal. When in doubt of preserving food, always consult with a dietician or an expert in the food industry.

For sweet spiced vinegar, follow the above steps, dissolving the sugar into the vinegar before setting aside to steep.
