Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Cider

In a large pot, combine the chopped Honeycrisp apples and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Simmer the Mixture

Reduce heat to low and add sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

3

Strain the Cider

After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

4

Chill and Carbonate

Allow the cider to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until chilled. Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water.

5

Serve

Pour the chilled cider into glasses, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce to taste. Enjoy your Snow Capped 'Honeycrisp' Cider!
