步骤说明

1
Quarter the apples mixed varieties (no need to peel or core), quarter the orange and lemon. Add all the fruit to a large pot.
2
Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, allspice berries, black peppercorns (if using), star anise (if using), and ground nutmeg to the pot.
3
Pour in enough water to cover the fruit by about 1 inch — roughly 10 cups. Do not add the brown sugar yet.
4
Bring the pot to a boil over ^[high heat], then reduce the heat to ^[low]. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, until the apples mixed varieties are completely soft and breaking apart.
5
Use a potato masher or the back of a large wooden spoon to thoroughly mash all the fruit in the pot. This releases more flavor and color into the liquid.
6
Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue simmering uncovered for another 30 minutes to let the flavors concentrate.
7
Set a sieve over a large mixing bowl or second pot. Ladle the cider through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
8
For an extra-clear cider, strain a second time through the sieve lined with a piece of cheesecloth.
9
Taste the cider and adjust sweetness by stirring in more brown sugar, one tablespoon at a time, if desired. Serve hot in mugs, optionally garnished with a cinnamon stick and an apple slices.
