MATERIALS NEEDED:

1 kg banana peels
8 cups water
1½ cups sugar
½ teaspoon baker’s yeast
1 cup vinegar starter

UTENSILS:

measuring cup
measuring spoon
knife
chopping board
casserole
stove
cheesecloth
wide-mouthed glass jars
thermometer

PROCEDURE:

  1. Slice a kilo of banana peel, add 4 cups water, then boil.
  2. Extract the juice of banana peel, decant and filter through cheesecloth.
  3. Add 4 cups water, 1 ½ cup sugar and pasteurize for 10 – 15 minutes at 60 -65ºC.
  4. Transfer into sterilized container, half-filled.
  5. Cool, then add ½ tsp baker’s yeast for every 8 cup mixture. Allow to ferment for 7-8 days.
  6. Decant/siphon to separate sediments (dead yeast).
  7. Add 1 c of vinegar starter for every 4 cup liquid. Cover with clean cloth/paper.
  8. Allow to ferment at room temperature for 2-3 weeks or until a sour odor of vinegar is attained. Decant to separate the sediments.
  9. Fill container to full capacity. Age for a month to produce quality vinegar.
