Directions

  1. In a 10-liter bottle, add 3 tablespoons of caustic soda. Use a wooden straw to help dissolve it. If the water is already heated, allow it to cool to room temperature. Fill the bottle about halfway.
  2. Place the olives in the bottle and let them sit for 48 hours.
  3. After 48 hours, observe that the water has turned a dark green color: this indicates that the baking soda has reacted with the olives.
  4. Return the water to the pot and check for doneness. Allow it to drain until the water that comes out is dark.
  5. Rinse the olives until the water becomes clear. ≈ 2 min
  6. In a pot, combine all the ingredients and cook for 30 minutes. Allow to cool, strain, and pour the mixture into the bottle.
  7. Let the olives marinate for 10 days before consuming them.
