Summer Cider
Ingredients
2 lb. windfall apples
1 oz. root ginger
½ teaspoon cloves
Yeast (optional)
1 gallon water
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1½ lb. white sugar
Method
Wash the apples and without peeling, grate into a jug. Add the cold water and yeast if desired, cover with a thick cloth and leave in a warm room for one week, stirring daily. Strain and add the sugar, cloves, cinnamon and bruised ginger. Stir vigorously and leave overnight. Strain through muslin and bottle using strong screw stopper bottles, screwing the stoppers down tightly. After two days, and thereafter at daily intervals, loosen the stoppers momentarily to assess the amount of gas formed. When this is satisfactory, the cider is ready for drinking.
