Add cinnamon sticks or cloves for a spiced vinegar.

FAQ:
1. Can I use non-organic apples?
Yes, but wash thoroughly to remove pesticide residue.
2. Is mold normal during fermentation?
No, white foam is okay, but mold (green/black) means it must be discarded.
3. Can I speed up fermentation?
Using raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar as a “starter” helps accelerate the process.
