Follow these simple steps to make vinegar on your own so as to enjoy its natural taste:
1. Get a 1.9L glass jar and clean it with soap and water. Then fill the jar with boiling water to sterilize it.
2. Pour 350ml of distilled water and 350ml of wine into the jar. However, you can use hard cider or beer instead of wine.
3. Since you need bacteria to begin this process, you need to get the "mother"(a container with the needed bacteria). Add the "mother" to get the process started. The introduction of the mother into the mixture will help turn ethanol into acetic acid.
4. Get a paper towel and a rubber band to seal the jar. You're using a paper towel because you need to use a permeable material.
5. Store the jar in a dark, temperate, and airy place for two months. The temperature of this place should be between 15° C and 34 °C.
6. Use a straw to get some vinegar after two months and taste.
7. Remove the mother.
8. Pour the vinegar into a container and heat until it reaches a temperature of 60°C to 71°C.
9. Get a bottle and fill it with the vinegar.
