Ingredients for Strongbow Cider

Method

Instructions for Making Strongbow Cider

1

Prepare the Apples

Wash, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Place them into a large pot.

2

Cooking the Apples

Add the water and sugar to the pot with the chopped apples. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until the apples are soft.

3

Strain the Mixture

Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the apple mixture into another pot or large container to extract the juice. Discard the solids.

4

Fermentation

Add the yeast and cinnamon sticks to the apple juice. Stir gently to combine. Cover the container with a cloth and let it ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1 to 2 weeks.

5

Bottling

After fermentation, remove the cinnamon sticks and transfer the cider into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to each bottle.

6

Carbonation

Seal the bottles and allow them to carbonate at room temperature for 3-5 days. After carbonation, refrigerate the cider before serving.

7

Serve

Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Strongbow cider!
