Method
Apple Juice Base
- 1
Combine juices
Pour 6 cups of 100% apple juice into a large pitcher. If you are using concentrated apple juice, reconstitute according to package instructions to yield 6 cups before proceeding.

Add 2 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine. Adjust the water amount if you prefer a more concentrated or lighter flavor (for a stronger apple flavor reduce water, for a lighter flavor increase water).
Optional Add-ins (to taste)
- 3
Sweeten and brighten
Taste the blended apple juice. If you prefer it sweeter, stir in up to 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar or simple syrup until dissolved. To brighten the flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and mix.
- 4
Warm-spice (optional)
For a cinnamon note, add up to 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and whisk briskly until incorporated. Note that ground cinnamon will remain suspended and may settle; alternatively, steep a cinnamon stick in warm juice and remove before chilling for a cleaner texture.

Chill and serve
Add ice cubes to glasses or chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Stir again just before pouring to redistribute any settled spices or pulp.
