Instant Pot Apple Cider

Adapted from https://foodsharingvegan.com/instant-pot-apple-cider/

I made this.

Servings: 2

INGREDIENTS

5 apples of any variety, chopped (no need to peel or remove core)
2 oranges peeled and chopped
3 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1 whole nutmeg
¼ cup of your choice of sweetener (brown sugar, maple syrup, agave, etc.)
Water to cover the fruit

STEPS

1) Place all the ingredients into the instant pot and cook on high for 12 minutes with a quick release.

2) Remove the spices with a slotted spoon, and then use a potato masher to mash the fruit.

3) Strain using cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer. Make sure to squeeze the fruit to get as much juice out as possible.

4) Serve hot.


NOTES

For hard cider, dissolve the EC-1118 yeast in 95-98F water, and pitch it into cider cooled to 65-75F
