Ingredients for making cider

When making cider at home, you need to prepare 1,500 grams of apples, preferably several different varieties, 1 kilogram of sugar, two fresh lemons and a clean plastic bucket that can hold food. Ceramic containers are also fine, but remember not to use iron to make cider.

Steps to making cider

1. Wash the prepared apples, dry them, wrap them in plastic bags, put them in the refrigerator and freeze them for three days before taking them out.

2. After taking out the apples, chop them into pieces. If you are afraid of trouble, you can also use a blender, but you need to add an appropriate amount of water during the process.

3. Put the crushed apples into a plastic bucket, add 5 kilograms of water, cover with clean cotton cloth, and place in a warm place to ferment.

4. Fermentation takes about a week, but during the fermentation process, it needs to be stirred once a day. If it is not fermented, the effect will not be ideal.

5. After fermentation, filter it with cotton cloth to get apple juice, then add white sugar. Also, process the lemon into lemon juice and add it into the apple juice together with the white sugar.

6. Seal it. After two or three days, you will see bubbles appearing inside. After a large number of bubbles appear and disappear, filter it a second time to get cider. Put it in a bottle and seal it. It can be consumed after a week. The longer it is stored, the more tempting the cider tastes.
