In a medium bowl, stir together the quinoa, water for soaking, and apple cider vinegar.
Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight or for at least 3 hours.
When you're ready to cook it, pour the quinoa into a mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
Place in a medium saucepan and add the water for cooking.
On medium-high heat, bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Turn to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes or until the water has absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and serve with toppings of your choice or use in a recipe.

Topping ideas: Butter, coconut oil, olive oil, salt, spices, herbs
