Kombucha SCOBY can ferment similarly, while store-bought vinegar is a quick fix.

Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any chemicals, leaving the skin on.

Cut the apples into small pieces, removing only the core and seeds, and place them in a clean glass jar.

Leave some space at the top of the jar after adding the apples.

Pour enough water into the jar to fully cover the apples.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the jar.

If available, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the jar.

Press the apples down gently to remove any air pockets and ensure they are submerged in the liquid.

Cover the jar and place it in a warm, dark spot in your kitchen for fermentation.

Every other day, press the apples down to keep them submerged and check for bubbles, indicating fermentation.

After 8 days, check the mixture for bubbles and color change in the liquid.

After one month, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.

Transfer the strained liquid back to a clean jar and let it sit undisturbed for another 15-20 days to clarify.

Once clear, transfer the vinegar to a storage bottle.
