Apple cider
Apple cider is a delicious beverage made from crushed apples. It’s typically unfiltered and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Some people like to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 8-10 apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties)
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice berries
- 1 orange sliced
- nutmeg additional for spice (optional)
- star anise additional for spice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and chop the apples into quarters, leaving the skins and cores intact.
- In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, and orange slices.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the apples with a potato masher or spoon to release more flavor.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid.
- Discard the solids and serve the apple cider hot or chilled. You can garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice if desired.
- Enjoy!
