1 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 red onion, sliced into rings
1 fresh chile pepper, such as red Fresno or jalapeño, sliced
2 fresh bay leaves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a bubble. Add the salt and sugar and stir to dissolve.
