I've always added sugar when the vinigar has been too strong, it seems to calm it down and helps the flavours to develope.

Don't bother with water and a pan… microwave for 3 minutes! Life's too short.
Delicious either way.

The problem with diluting the cider vinegar with water is it it will end up at less than 5 per cent acidity and will not keep as well.
