Tips:
- Choose the right apples. Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Use fresh spices. Whole spices will give your cider the best flavor. If you don't have whole spices, you can use ground spices, but use half the amount.
- Don't boil the cider. Simmer it over low heat to prevent it from becoming too strong or bitter.
- Let the cider cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and mellow out.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and whipped cream.
