Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash the fresh apples thoroughly under running water. Core and chop them into quarters, leaving the skin on for added flavor and nutrients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ginger

    Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin pieces to release its flavor more effectively.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large stockpot, combine the chopped apples, sliced ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and water. Stir the mixture to ensure that the ingredients are well distributed.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture in the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 5

    Strain the Cider

    After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the liquid into another large pot or bowl, discarding the solids.

  3. 6

    Sweeten the Cider

    Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, and honey to the strained cider. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Warm or Chilled

    You can serve the cider warm immediately or let it cool down to room temperature and then refrigerate to serve chilled. Enjoy!
