Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 5 large apple quartered (assorted varieties
- ½ orange
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 cinnamon stick
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon clove whole
- ¼ teaspoon star anise whole
Instructions
- Pour water into a large pot. Add the apples, 1/2 orange, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and star anise. Stir to mix.
- Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove the orange and use a potato masher to crush to apples into a pulp. Then simmer for another hour.
- Once the cooking time is up, strain the pulp and juice through a sieve into a pitcher or large bowl.
- Let the cider cool to your desired temperature before serving. If you want chilled cider, let it cool to room temperature before placing the pitcher in the fridge.
Notes
- This cider will keep for 4 days in the fridge.
- If you prefer to leave out the brown sugar, you can. The cider won't be quite as sweet, but it will still be delicious.
