Instructions
- Mix the cabbage, onion, and carrot together in a bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to a large jar, like a Ball jar.
- Whisk together the brine ingredients - vinegar, salt, and optional sugar - then pour it into the jar. Be sure to completely cover the vegetables with the brine. Add the bay leaf.
- Secure the lid and refrigerate for 3 days or longer to let the flavors mingle. It gets better as it ages.
Notes

- Popular additions/variations include cauliflower, lime juice, honey.
