NOTES:

  1. Vinegar:

      Preferably use a high quality Philippine cane vinegar, or a Philippine coconut or palm vinegar. Lacking those, rice vinegar can be used. If all you have is white distilled vinegar, dilute it a touch with water. The photo specimen is made with a lightly tinted natural cane vinegar. For details see our Sours page.
