DIY Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe: Step by Step Fermentation Process

Peel and core the apple using a good quality peeler.

Collect the apple peel and core for use in the vinegar.

Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into a recycled bottle with the apple peels.

Cover the top of the bottle with a piece of cloth and secure it with a rubber band to keep out critters.

Let the mixture sit for two weeks to ferment, stirring occasionally if desired.

After two weeks, check the mixture for sediment and any apple seeds.

Strain the mixture using a cloth to catch any solids and sediment while pouring the liquid into another container.

Leave an air gap in the container to allow for continued fermentation.
