Mix the remaining apple peels with water and sugar, then strain the resulting liquid through a clean cotton towel. Don’t forget to squeeze well to get all the liquid out.
Pour the liquid into a glass jar, but do not close it with the lid: place a clean cotton cloth on the surface and secure it to the edge of the container with a rubber band. This way, air can freely come into contact with the liquid and turn it into vinegar.
Finally, store the jar in a dark place at room temperature for at least three weeks, shaking the mixture daily and then transferring it to a bottle or spray bottle when finished. Your mixture will have taken time to transform into cider vinegar.
The vinegar obtained in this way can be used for ecological cleaning of your home or as a “grandma’s remedy” to remove stains from fabrics and surfaces.
Thanks to its anti-limescale properties, it can polish opaque glasses, clean the kettle and shower walls, and descale the iron. You can also use it to clean the refrigerator or to deodorize rooms, but also to eliminate bad smells from thermoses and other containers. In fact, vinegar has a great capacity to absorb and neutralize odors.
