Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples

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

2. Juice the Apples

Place the chopped apples into a juicer or blender and extract the juice. Strain the juice through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a large bowl to remove solids.

3. Mix the Ingredients

In a large pot, combine the apple juice, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Add the cinnamon stick for flavor.

4. Heat the Mixture

Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.

5. Cool the Mixture

Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

6. Add Yeast

Once cooled, sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the mixture and stir gently to combine.

7. Ferment

Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel and cover with a cloth. Let it ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1-2 weeks.

8. Bottle the Cider

After fermentation, siphon the cider into clean bottles, leaving some headspace, and seal with caps.

9. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the bottles for a few days to chill, then serve cold. Enjoy your homemade Angry Orchard Hard Cider!
