Apples are now one of the fruits in the market. We all know that apples are healthy. Eating an apple every day can really help us to replenish our vitamins and boost our immune system, but did you know? In fact, besides eating apples directly, they can also be used to make many delicious foods. Today we would like to share the recipe for apple cider.
In fact, cider made from apples is a very healthy drink. Especially for the elderly, drinking apple cider has a good effect on softening blood vessels and it has a special appetizing effect. It is also a very good drink. But the cider you usually buy not only tastes bad, but also contains new additives. So if you want to drink cider, you don’t need to buy it. You can make it at home, and it’s healthy and free of additives, and it tastes great.
To make apple cider, we should first prepare some apples, then a bottle of rice wine and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Of course, the most important thing is to prepare a jar that can be sealed. Once we have all these ingredients, we can start making the cider.
First, we need to clean the prepared apples. To clean them, we can rub the skin of the apples with salt, as there will inevitably be some wax and pesticide residue on the apples. After rubbing with cooking salt, we can not only remove the wax from the apples, but also remove the pesticide residue, which is much cleaner.
Next, we need to wash the apples again and slice them. When we make cider, we don’t need to cut off the skin of the apples because there are many nutrients in the skin. We need to thinly slice the apple and the peel and place it evenly in the pot. Then we should also take care to put two layers of apple slices and then a layer of icing sugar.
The icing must be made from two layers of apple slices and one layer of rock sugar in proportion to ensure that our cider tastes both sweet and tart. If there is too little icing sugar, it will also affect the flavor of the cider. When we put the apples at 9% full, it’s ready to use. Because this is also a fermentation process, there will be some gas and it is not safe to put it too full.
To make the cider taste better, we can actually add some honey and it is more delicious and healthy. Finally, after we finish the apples, we need to pour in all of the prepared rice wine. When we put in the rice wine, we should make sure that the rice wine does not exceed the apples. Next, you can close the lid and seal it in a cool place. It takes about a month to make cider. At this point, the apples will float, the sugar will melt completely, and the cider will turn a light yellow color. This makes the cider not only delicious, but also highly nutritious.
