How to make Apple cider vinegar in India with jaggery (without sugar)
Always start small. So you may either take 1 or 2 apples. So if you take 1 apple, take 1 tbsp of jaggery. Take 2 tablespoons of jaggery or sweetener of choice if you want to ferment 2 apples.
Water is the third and most important ingredient. It should be non-chlorinated.
I have used RO water. It works. Chlorinated water might have problems with fermentation.
Let's begin.
Chop and core apples. You may discard the seeds. I always do.
Put apples into a clean, sterilized glass jar.
Mix jaggery with water and pour over the apples. Try to press apples as much as possible in the jar.
You need as much water as can cover all of the apples.
We want to ensure all the time that apples remain under the water. That's it.
Cover with a muslin cloth or cotton handkerchief.
Tie a rubber band.
Keep at room temperature all the time.
You may start to notice bubbling activity the next day, which will be on its height the next two weeks.
Gradually, bubbles should disappear.
When bubbles are gone, that shows the yeast has eaten away all the sugar and is hungry again. But you do not need to add any more sweetener now. We want the yeast hungry.
That's when the process of turning the solution to vinegar starts. Hungry yeast releases acetic acid, which adds sourness.
The main factor that plays a decisive role in apple cider vinegar making in India or abroad is acetobacter bacteria.
After 3-4 weeks, your ACV should smell strongly of vinegar and taste extremely sour.
Mine smells the same as the storebought stuff.
If you want apple cider with the mother, then you will need to leave your ACV after decanting (that is, separation of solids from liquids after 3 weeks) on the counter for 1-2 months UNDISTURBED.
In summers, the process may be quicker than winters.
You will see a film or blob floating on your acv. That's the mother, which may sink to the bottom when you touch the jar or shake it.
The mother is your ticket to making apple cider vinegar the next time speedily.
It will help speed up the process of fermentation.
Happy fermenting!!

Apple cider vinegar may prevent oxidative stress in kidneys while balancing blood sugar levels. It is known to reduce blood pressure.
