Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and chop the apples and pears into small pieces, removing any seeds or cores.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, pears, honey, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, sliced ginger, and water.

Cooking

    Strain the Cider

    After simmering, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot or pitcher to remove the solids.

    Taste the cider and adjust the sweetness if desired, by adding brown sugar or vanilla extract.

  4. 6
