Preparation
- Place the apple peels and cores (optional) in a quart-sized jar with a wide mouth.
- Cover the peels completely with the water.
- Add the sugar and stir.
- Make sure your scraps are completely covered with water.
- Cover the mouth of the jar with a coffee filter or a thin cloth, then screw on the outer ring of the lid.
- Let sit in a dark area at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, stirring the mix once a day to stimulate proper fermentation and prevent mold from forming.
- When you notice some fizz and a significant amount of bubbles on the surface, strain out the scraps and compost them.
- Put the liquid back in the jar, cover with a coffee filter or a thin cloth, and let it sit.
- Taste it once a week and once it has reached your desired level acidity, cover with a lid or transfer to a closed bottle to stop the fermentation.
- The apple cider vinegar will keep for about a year in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
