Yield:
Two small glasses
Ingredients:
5 apples
½ orange
1 cinnamon stick
½ tsp cloves
1½ liters water
1½ tsp brown sugar
25ml maple syrup
Preparation:
1) Take your apples and slice them into rough chunks. It’s not necessary to peel them or remove the core, since you’ll filter the mixture later on.
2) Then cut half an orange into pieces and add it to the apples. If you don’t want to have a little bitter aftertaste in your cider, you can peel the orange. I didn’t and I’m glad I left the peel on because it added quite a depth of taste. If you don’t peel the orange, you should definitely use an organic one to avoid having residues of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides etc. in your drink.
3) Put the fruit into a pot, add the spices (cinnamon and cloves) and cover everything with water.
4) Bring it up to a boil, cover it and let it simmer on low heat for about an hour.
5) When the apples have softened, mash them into a puree.
6) Then it’s time to add the brown sugar and maple syrup. After you’ve mixed it all well, let it simmer again for about 30 minutes.
7) Lastly filter it through a strainer into a bowl and your homemade apple cider is done!
8) To finish it off, you can cut some leftover apple slices into nice shapes to decorate the glasses of apple cider with them. Serve it while it’s still hot and enjoy!
