Ingredients:
– Organic apples (Select a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
– Filtered water
– Natural sweetener (optional)
– Time and patience
Steps:
- Selecting the Apples:
– Choose high-quality, organic apples. A mix of sweet and tart varieties can contribute to a well-rounded flavor. - Preparing the Apples:
– Wash and chop the apples, including the peels and cores. The natural sugars and nutrients in these parts are essential for fermentation.
- Creating the Base:
– Place the chopped apples in a large, clean glass container. Cover them with filtered water, leaving some space at the top. - Adding Sweetener (Optional):
– If you prefer a slightly sweeter vinegar, add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. This step is optional but can enhance the final taste.
- Fermentation Process:
– Cover the container with a clean cloth or paper towel and secure it with a rubber band. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for several weeks, stirring occasionally.
- Straining the Liquid:
– Once the mixture has fermented, strain out the solids. This liquid now contains the base for your refined apple cider vinegar.
- Distillation Process:
– To achieve the “refined” quality, you’ll need to distill the liquid. This involves carefully heating the vinegar to separate impurities, resulting in a clear and smooth consistency.
- Maturation:
– Allow the distilled liquid to mature for a few more weeks. This enhances the flavors and ensures a well-balanced taste.
- Quality Check:
– Perform a quality check by tasting the vinegar. Adjust the flavors if necessary and ensure that it meets your desired level of refinement.
