How to prepare apple cider Ingredients: Apple white wine and rock sugar 1. Wash the apples, wipe the surface water and cut them into small pieces (wiping the surface water is good for preserving).
2. Put some icing sugar at the bottom of the bottle, then encode the apple slices layer by layer and sprinkle icing sugar on the surface. Wine is corrosive, so it is best to use a glass bottle.
3. Pour in the rice wine. The wine should not exceed the apple slices (amount of wine and sugar: I use 450ml wine and about 80g icing sugar in this bottle, the amount of wine is based on the apple, only the apple flesh should be completely soaked, the amount of sugar can be added according to personal taste).
4. Cover the bottle with a layer of plastic wrap, screw the cap tightly and place in a cool dry place for more than 3 months. How to make cider.
5. When the wine is golden brown, it has been steeped. Pick up the apple slices and do not use them. Strain the cider 1-2 times through clean gauze or filter paper (there will be a small pulpy suspension in the cider after a long soak, so filtering first and then bottling will make the cider look cleaner and brighter).
Place the filtered wine in a clean, water-free glass bottle, cover the bottle with plastic wrap, and screw on the cap. Keep in a cool place or refrigerate. To drink, mix an appropriate amount of fruit wine with 1-2 times pure water or honey water.
How to Make Raw Wine 1. Wash and slice apples.
2. Place the apple slices and icing sugar in layers on a large glass jar, making sure there is a large gap between each layer. The amount of icing sugar should be controlled, less than half of the apples. The exact ratio is up to the individual. More rock sugar will make it easier to ferment. After fermentation, it will be more sour, but less apple flavor.
Ferment in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool place above 20℃ and below 30℃.
4. If you have glutinous rice wine, open and add glutinous rice wine after fermentation for about 2 months, and then seal and ferment again for 5 times. Otherwise, you have to wait for about 10 months. At this stage, you can say that the brewing of raw apple wine is complete. Raw apple wine has a very poor appearance and there will be impurities such as suspended matter. Don’t worry, this will not affect your diet.
How to handle raw wine 1. Sterilize: Boil the wine on a fast fire, remove from the heat immediately and leave it for half a minute (in fact, it does not matter if you do not sterilize the wine, the wine acid bacteria itself can inhibit the growth of bacteria, so the sterilization is for storage purposes).
2. Filtering: There will be some suspended solids and other impurities in the original wine. These suspended solids are actually denatured by pectin, which is not harmful to health but will affect the appearance. Simply filter through multiple layers of gauze.
3. Mixing: Strain the apple juice and mix it with raw wine and honey. Generally speaking, 80% apple juice, 15% wine and 5% honey is more appropriate. The ratio can be adjusted according to your personal preference.
Adjust the ratio according to your preference. Note: It is best to add purified water (not boiled water, which will destroy the nutrients) when drinking, as the concentration is too high and the taste is too heavy for the nutrients to be absorbed.
How to consume apple cider 1. Drink directly.
2. Drink it with ice or mixed with sorbet. It tastes fresh and is suitable for summer consumption.
3. Mix with orange juice for a unique flavor and rich nutrition.
