How to make Sushi Vinegar

My sister, a chef, has taught me this recipe from her secret recipe book. You can store this for 2-3 months in the fridge, but the color will darken and the flavor will lose any tartness after some time. I adjusted the amounts of the ingredients to the minimum so that you can use this sushi vinegar immediately after it's done.

You must use rice vinegar for the vinegar! This adds a milder taste.
Don't boil the vinegar when heating. Otherwise, it will lose any tartness and will taste horrible.
An alternative without using gas: stir the ingredients well until everything has dissolved. Skim off any scum, and let sit for minimum 30 minutes to finish. Recipe by Suppaiko
