Cider Ingredients
Method
Cider Preparation
Prepare the Apples
Wash and core the apples, then cut them into quarters. Place the apple quarters into a large press or a juicer to extract the juice.
Juicing
Collect the fresh apple juice in a large clean container. You should have about 10 cups of juice from the apples.
Mix Ingredients
Add 1 cup of sugar to the apple juice and stir until fully dissolved. Then, add 2 cups of water to dilute the mixture.
Add Yeast
Sprinkle 1 tsp of yeast over the juice mixture and gently stir to combine. Cover the container with a clean cloth.
Fermentation
Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for about 1 week, stirring daily. You should notice bubbles forming as fermentation occurs.
Bottling
After 1 week, strain the mixture through a fine mesh to remove solids. Transfer the liquid into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top.
Second Fermentation
Seal the bottles tightly and let them sit at room temperature for another 1-2 weeks for carbonation to develop.
Chill and Serve
Once carbonated, chill the cider in the fridge. Serve cold and enjoy your homemade sparkling cider!
