and the vinegar reaches the top of the jar. - Place a piece of parchment paper under the lid (to keep vinegar from touching the
metal) before tightly closing. Shake well. - Store in a cool dark place for a month. Shake your jar daily.
- After one month, use cheese cloth or a fine mesh strainer to strain the fire cider.
