Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a versatile and health-boosting ingredient that can be used in cooking, cleaning, and natural remedies. Making your own apple cider vinegar at home is simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your own batch of this wonderful elixir.
Ingredients
6-8 organic apples or apple scraps (peels and cores)
1 cup of sugar (optional, helps speed up fermentation)
Water (filtered or distilled)
A large glass jar
Cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel
A rubber band or string
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Apples:
Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. If you’re using whole apples, cut them into small pieces. If you’re using scraps, make sure they are fresh and free of mold.
Fill the Jar:
Place the apple pieces or scraps into a large glass jar. Fill the jar about 3/4 full, leaving some room at the top for the fermentation process.
Add Sugar and Water:
If you’re using sugar, dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 2 cups of warm water. Pour this mixture over the apples in the jar. If you prefer not to use sugar, simply fill the jar with water until the apples are completely submerged.
