At first, I used a whole apple to make yeast, but it seemed like a waste, so instead, I used the peel and core after eating the apple.

・Be sure to stir once a day, and open the lid to refresh the air.
※ Rotate the upright jar in circles with the lid on.
・You will start to hear fizzing then it starts to ferment. Recipe by Hirochan

Steps

1

Put the peel and core of an apple in the sterilized jar. This photo shows 3 apples' worth.
2

Add the water and fermentation liquid and lightly mix. You can also make this without the fermentation liquid, but adding it will help speed up the fermentation process.
3

Place the jar in a sunny spot near a window until it ferments. As long as it's warm, anywhere is fine.
4

Stir the contents of the jar once a day and open the lid to refresh the air. You will be able to hear fizzing once it starts to ferment.
5

Although it depends on the temperature, in 2 to 4 days, it should start to fizz. If the fermentation (fizzing) takes longer than 4 days, add sugar.
6

When the fermentation process is complete, strain the liquid and store in the refrigerator.
