Anxo Cidre Blanc Recipe

Cider Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Apples

   Wash and core the fresh apples, then chop them into small pieces.

2. 2

   Extract the Juice

   Place the chopped apples in a cider press or food processor to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a large container.

3. 3

   Mix Ingredients

   In the container with the apple juice, add 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and the juice of 2 tablespoons of lemon. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. 4

   Add Yeast

   Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cider yeast over the mixture, and let it sit for about 15 minutes to activate.

5. 5

   Add Campden Tablet

   Crush 1 Campden tablet and add it to the mixture. This will help to sanitize the juice and prevent unwanted bacteria from fermenting.

6. 6

   Fermentation Process

   Cover the container with a clean cloth and allow the mixture to ferment for 1-2 weeks at room temperature. Stir the mixture daily.

7. 7

   Bottling

   After fermentation is complete, siphon the cider into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles with caps.

8. 8

   Carbonation

   Optional: If you want sparkling cider, add a small amount of sugar (about 1 teaspoon per bottle) before sealing to encourage carbonation.

9. 9

   Aging

   Store the bottles in a cool, dark place for at least 1 month to allow the flavors to develop.
