Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Apple Cider Drink.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful homemade apple cider.
Step 2
In a spacious stockpot, combine the quartered apples with enough water to cover them, ensuring the water level rises at least two inches above the fruit.
Step 3
Enhance the mixture by adding sugar, cinnamon, and allspice, then stir thoroughly to blend the flavors.
Step 4
Heat the pot over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a vigorous boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, keep the pot uncovered and allow it to bubble away for one hour, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 6
After the hour has passed, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for an additional two hours, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Step 7
When the simmering is complete, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to separate the solids from the liquid.
Step 8
For an even clearer cider, you can strain it again using a cheesecloth-lined sieve.
Step 9
Serve your cider warm for a cozy experience, or chill it in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat.
Step 10
Savor the fruits of your labor with every sip of this homemade apple cider!.
