Place in a shallow bowl on your kitchen counter, out of direct sunlight to ferment for 5-7 days. Don't let it ferment for too long, or your ferment will shift towards the alcohol side.  As it ferments the color dulls. You'll see bubbles rising to the surface during the first few days.

STORE. When taste is to your liking, add the fermentation length to your label and place in your refrigerator where it can last for up to 6 months.
