Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash and chop the fresh apples into quarters, leaving the skins on. Remove any seeds.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    In a large pot, combine chopped apples and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until the apples are soft.

  3. 3

    Strain the Juice

    Once the apples have softened, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture, extracting the juice into a clean pot.

  4. 4

    Add Flavorings

    Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the strained apple juice. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cool and Ferment

    Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, sprinkle the yeast over the top and stir gently. Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it ferment in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks.

  6. 6

    Bottle the Cidre

    After fermentation, strain the mixture again to remove solids. Transfer the liquid into bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal tightly.

  7. 7

    Refrigerate and Serve

    Refrigerate the bottled cidre for at least 24 hours before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
