  2. After 5 days, strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, discarding the solids.
  3. Add 1 cup of sugar to the strained vinegar, heat over medium-high, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
  4. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then pour into a clean bottle, seal tightly, and label with date. Store in the refrigerator.
