Garlic does that sometimes. It's harmless. It's caused by a chemical
reaction between the vinegar and enzymes in immature garlic. It can turn
blue, purple or green. If it's a really *vivid* blue, it might mean your
water contains high levels of copper. (Also usually not a problem.)
Don't worry about it. Pretend it's supposed to look like that.
Best regards,
