Spiced cider served in a glass

Spiced Cider

Spiced cider is a special drink that perfectly combines the natural sweetness of apples with the warmth of spices. Originally from England, where it is traditionally consumed on cold days, this homemade version is not only delicious but also easy to make and is the perfect choice for a gathering with friends or a holiday dinner. Tip: For an even richer flavor, add a little nutmeg or ginger during cooking.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Heat the water to approximately 104°F (40°C) and dissolve the honey in it. Allow to cool to room temperature.

    2

    In a large fermenting vessel, pour in the freshly pressed apple juice. Add the honey water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel.

    3

    Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the apple juice and mix thoroughly. Seal the fermenting vessel with an airlock.

    4

    Allow the apple juice to ferment at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or until fermentation is complete. Check daily to ensure fermentation is proceeding properly.

    5

    Once fermentation is complete, strain the cider-like liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices.

    6

    Pour the strained cider into sterilized bottles. Add a small amount of sugar to each bottle for carbonation, then seal tightly.

    7

    Let the bottled cider rest for another week to allow for full carbonation. Chill before serving.
