4 Done 1 minute	Combine Combine the juices together with a wooden spoon.
5 Done 1 minute	Put a Lid on it Place a lid on the glass jar that fits it snugly so no air can get into the jar or insects can fly into it as it sits and ferments some more.
6 Done 1-3 days	The amount of time that this jar stays fermented will be determined by your taste, ranging from sweet to sour. Another factor that will play a factor in the amount of time that it ferments will be the temperature of your room and the time of year it is.
