Heat vinegar in a non-aluminum saucepan until very hot, but DO NOT boil.
Place peppercorns, garlic, lemon rind, and salt in a non-metal bowl. Cover with hot vinegar.
Cool to room temperature and cover with plastic wrap; store in cool place for two days.
Strain and discard peppercorns and garlic.
Pour vinegar into sterilized bottle with non-metal lid.
