Homemade Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
Over the centuries, many people have used Apple Cider Vinegar for many different purposes such as: making pickles, dressing salad or folk remedies. Today, it becomes more popular that ACV has some significant benefits for taking care of our beauty like losing weight, brightening up the skin, caring hair, etc.
This method uses apple scraps like the peels and cores. This is a perfect convenient method, the reason is that you can both eat the apple and make ACV as well. This way is recommended because it’s faster and effective than using the whole apple.
Ingredients.
A wide – mouth jar
Apple scraps (the peels and cores from apple)
A piece of cheesecloth for covering jar.
Directions.
Step 1.
Leave the scraps to air until they turn brown as you want.
Put the apple scraps into the jar and top it up with water. You can continue add scraps for a few days later if you want, but don’t put it on top of the jar.
Step 2.
Step 3.Cover with the cheesecloth and put it in the dark place.
Pour the vinegar through a strainer to filter out the scraps. If it doesn’t turn out strong enough you can add more sweetener and ferment for another couple of weeks.
You’ll notice the scraps in the jar starts to thicken after a few days and grayish scum forms on top. When this happens, stop adding scraps and leave it for a month for fermenting.
After a month later, you can taste and start testing it. If it suitable with you, strain out the apple scraps and bottle the vinegar. It is ok if your vinegar is cloudy. There will be some sediments from the apple. If you don’t like the cloudiness, straining it through a paper coffee filter which will remove most of the sediments.
