Cider Ingredients
Method
Cider Preparation
Prepare the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh apple juice, water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add Yeast
Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and stir gently to incorporate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Fermentation
Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel, add the cinnamon stick, and cover with an airlock or cloth. Let it ferment in a cool, dark place for about 7-10 days.
Taste and Adjust
After fermentation, taste the cider. If it's too sweet, you can add a bit more lemon juice to balance the flavor.
Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, siphon the cider into a clean can or bottle, leaving some space at the top. Seal the container tightly.
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cider for at least 24 hours before serving. Pour into a glass and enjoy your homemade Lonetree Cider!
