Cider Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

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

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg.

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to separate the liquid from the solids.

    Let the cider cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice or warm it up for a cozy drink.
