CIDER MATERIALS

6 cups apple cider
¼ cup maple syrup
1 orange peel
1 lemon peel
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
Whipped cream

TOOLS

1 piece of cheese cloth
String
Boiling pot
Ladle

REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

  1. Unfold a piece of cheese cloth onto the counter. In the center of the cloth, place your cinnamon, cloves, orange and lemon peels into a pile. Gather the corners and tie them together with string, sealing the ingredients inside to create a spice bag.
  2. Place the spice bag into a pot. Be sure to keep hold of the string around it.
  3. Pour your apple cider into the pot around the bag, followed by the maple syrup.
  4. Fasten the string from the bag around one of the pot handles to keep it out of the way and move the pot to the stove.
  5. Let everything boil over the stove for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. The cloth bag will transfer the flavors of the spices into the cider without letting them escape.
  6. Once the cider is boiled and ready, serve it up with a ladle, add a cinnamon stick garnish with some whipped cream and you’re done!
