Ingredients:

• apples - 2 kg

• pressed yeast - 3 g
• sugar - 2 tbsp.

Method of preparation:

1. Wash the apples and cut them into random pieces to make it easy to pass them through the juicer.

2. Pass through a juicer and pour the juice into a jar. If the juice is too thick, you can add a little water.

3. Add the apple cider press cake to the juice and stir.

4. Add the crushed yeast and sugar, stir, and leave the jar for active fermentation for 1 day in a dark room. Cover with cheesecloth.

5. The next day, cover the jar with a rubber glove and make a hole in any finger to allow the excess air that forms during fermentation to escape.

6. Leave the jar of cider for 2-3 days, until the glove rises and then deflates and falls off. Then close it and put it in a dark place for 1 month.

7. Then strain the cider through a sieve, pour it into a glass jar and put it in the refrigerator for a short time and drink.
