(Sweet Cider, Soft Cider)

Apple Cider is a non alcoholic beverage made with apples and just apples. The sweetness and tartness comes naturally from the apples itself. Apple Cider is not as clear as the apple juice which is commercially extracted using big equipment.

Ingredients

(for 1 cup)

Apples - 2 big/3 small

Method

1. Wash and chop the apples into small pieces with the skin on.
2. Puree it in a blender/mixie.
3. Using a very thin strainer and the back of a spoon, squeeze out the juice alone. You can also use a clean white cloth or cheese cloth to squeeze the juice. (If you have the juice extractor jar in your mixie, it makes making apple cider very easy as the juice is automatically separated.)

Serving Suggestions

• Serve immediately as such or use it  to make other delicacies like
  1. Hot apple cider or mulled cider: Simmer the apple cider with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and lemon zest for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Sparkling cider: Mix the apple cider with some lemon juice and add some soda/ ginger ale while serving.
