I’ve never understood why apple cider vinegar is so expensive to buy, when it’s so cheap and easy to make! And here’s how:

Ingredients:

• 6-10 organic apples (whole or scraps of)
• 1 large bowl
• 1 glass jar
• 1 piece of muslin
• Elastic band

Directions:

1. Rinse apples/scraps and cut into large chunks.
2. Put the apples in the bowl and cover with the muslin and allow to go brown.
3. Add apples to the jar and cover with water.
4. Cover the jar with the cheesecloth and leave in a dark place for 2-4 months (short time for scraps and longer for chunks of apple from whole apples).
5. Strain the apples pieces and any scum from the liquid and bottle in an airtight container and use as and when required.

Apple cider vinegar is great in salad dressings and raw food recipes.

Enjoy!
