Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Apples
Wash and chop the fresh apples into quarters. Remove any seeds and stems.
Extract Juice
In a large pot, add the chopped apples and water. Cook on medium heat until the apples are soft. Mash the apples to release the juice.
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the apple mixture to extract the juice into a clean container.
Fermentation
Add the yeast to the juice mixture and stir gently. Cover the container with a clean cloth and let it sit in a dark, warm place for about 1-2 weeks, allowing fermentation to occur.
Aging
Allow the bottled cider to age in a cool, dark place for at least 1 month before enjoying.
