Apple Cider Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

How fabulous is a drink which cool and refreshes in the summer, in the autumn, is warm and comforting? Apple cider is that drink, and the good news is not only is the recipe one of the easiest ever, but it also takes no time to prepare. To get the most from this recipe choose a variety of apples to create a good flavor, vary them between crisp, sharp granny smiths, sweet pink lady or any of your favorites. The best (and easiest) way to make the apple cider is by using a slow cooker, pop the ingredients in, turn it on and leave for 6 hours and the cider is ready. If you do not have a slow cooker, no worries, this recipe can be made in a pan or a dutch oven, though you will need to keep a closer eye on these to make sure they do not boil dry; details of using these is below the slow cooker recipe. The spicing of the cider is a matter of choice, the headier spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves will give you the deep warmth more needed in the colder months. Using less of these and switching them out for lighter tastes such as coriander and mace, perhaps a little lemon or lime peel will produce a more summery feel, especially if served with apples pieces and mint. There are no hard and fast rulesexperiment to see what flavor combinations you love most
