Description
One of my favorite autumn drinks! With nutrition-rich apples in season, it’s so simple to make … and this version ups the health benefits but remains tasty as can be.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 apples, cored and sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 cup organic apple juice
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground clove
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ cup maple sugar
- Water, to cover by 2–3 inches
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a stockpot. Cover with water so it’s two to three inches above the mixture.
- Bring to a boil and then cook at low heat for 3 hours.
- Remove oranges and mash the apples in the stockpot, using a potato masher.
- In a cheese or nut milk bag, add in apple cider mixture over a medium mixing bowl and strain the liquids from the solids. Alternatively, use a mesh strainer and press down on the mixture to squeeze as much liquid out as possible. Either way, toss the solid mixture afterwards … or use in your compost!
- Pour out a glass or two! Then store in a glass pitcher and refrigerate for up to three months.
Notes
Store in fridge. If you want to serve it warm, heat up in a small saucepan over low heat until it’s reached the desired temperature.
