步骤说明

1. 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. 2

   Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, allspice berries, black peppercorns (if using), star anise (if using), and ground nutmeg to the pot.

3. 3

   Pour in enough water to cover the fruit by about 1 inch — roughly 10 cups. Do not add the brown sugar yet.

4. 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. 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. 6

   Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue simmering uncovered for another 30 minutes to let the flavors concentrate.

7. 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. 8

   For an extra-clear cider, strain a second time through the sieve lined with a piece of cheesecloth.

9. 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.
