Ingredients
4–6 organic apples
1/2 cup organic sugar
filtered water
Instructions
Chop the apples into one-inch cubes. Place them in a half-gallon jar and top with sugar and water.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
Cover the jar with a coffee filter secured with a rubber band and place in a warm, dark place to ferment.
Stir the apple cider vinegar once a week.
After 2-4 weeks, a “mother” will form at the top of the jar. Once the mother forms, you no longer need to stir the vinegar.
Let the vinegar ferment for 1-2 months (up to 3 months). Once fermented, strain the apples from the jar and bottle the apple cider vinegar in clean jars.
