Hello, every birdie. It is officially Autumn where I am. The reason I know this is because of the one thing that is coming at us in abundance, apples. And today’s recipe is a very simple recipe of Apple Cider.
But before we talk about the recipe, we have got to talk about the character in question for this recipe, Zhongli (Jong-li).
Zhongli (Jong-li) is a geo character from Liyue. And he works at the funeral hall with Hu Tao. He is a man who the character meets during the Archon Quest from Liyue and he is a very important character. One of his idle lines is “Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember… But where are those who share the memory?” So, with an abundance of apples in my kitchen I thought it would be the perfect time to make some non-alcoholic Osmanthus Wine. (But you could add some alcohol to this recipe after it’s done. And it tastes really good. Cinnamon whiskey in this apple cider tastes amazing.)
I made this recipe in my Instant Pot. I understand that not everyone has an Instant Pot, and there are recipes out there for Cider in a pot on the stove. But I am not completely sure how you would go about making this recipe on the stove.
The recipe will be down below.
For this recipe you will need:
- Apples
- Sweetener
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Cloves
- Water
The first thing you want to do is cut your apples. Honestly, I don’t really look at the apple suggestions. What I mean by this is, that this recipe calls for Granny Smith apples. When I made this recipe I did not have Granny Smith, I had some sort of red variety sitting on my table. Yes, the taste is going to be slightly different, but overall apples are apples. They are interchangeable. So use whatever type of apples you have.
Once you have all your apples chopped you are going to place all your ingredients into the Instant Pot.
Just keep in mind that one serving of this cider is 6 cups. So if you are like me and have a large family you may want to double it.
When all of your ingredients are in your Instant Pot, you are going to put the lid on and cook under high pressure for 10 minutes. And let it naturally release.
Carefully open the lid and stir it well.
Place a bowl on the counter and place a strainer across it.
You will want to use a soup lade, and transfer the contents of your Instant Pot into the bowl.
You are going to grab a spoon and gently mash the apples a bit.
Continue this until you have enough for everyone to have a cup of cider.
Don’t throw away the pulp. It will make a really good apple sauce.
You can serve hot or cold. It tastes really good both hot and cold.
This recipe will be perfect for those cold Autumn nights. When you don’t have hot cocoa yet and you don’t have decaf coffee in the house. This will just warm you right up.
I hope you liked my non-alcoholic Osmathis wine. Feel free to check out the recipe down below. See you in the next recipe. Thank you.
