Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are tart and juicy, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. This will give your cider a complex flavor.
- Wash the apples thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or pesticides from the apples. You can also peel the apples if you prefer, but this is not necessary.
- Cut the apples into small pieces: This will help them to release their juice more easily.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you want your cider to be. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup.
- Simmer the cider for at least 30 minutes: This will help to extract the flavor from the apples and spices.
- Strain the cider through a cheesecloth: This will remove any solids from the cider.
- Let the cider cool completely before serving: You can also chill the cider for a refreshing drink.
