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.
