Making the Cider
Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, it's time to start making the cider. Peel and chop4 apples into small pieces and place them in a large pot. Next, add 1 cup of sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon of whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the pot. These spices will give the cider its signature Swedish flavor.
Bringing it to a Boil
Fill the pot with 8 cups of water and place it on the stove over medium heat. Allow the cider to come to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to infuse together and create a delicious base for your cider.
Adding the Secret Ingredient
Now it's time to add the secret ingredient that takes this cider to the next level – lingonberry juice. 1/2 cup of this tart and slightly sweet juice is all you need to give the cider its distinct Swedish taste. Stir it into the pot and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Straining and Serving
Once the cider has simmered, remove the pot from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. This will remove any large pieces of fruit and spices, leaving you with a smooth and flavorful cider. Serve the cider hot or chill it in the fridge for a refreshing cold drink.
Get Creative
While this recipe is delicious on its own, feel free to get creative and add your own twist. For a more adult version, add a splash of rum to each glass. You can also experiment with different types of apples or add in some orange slices for a citrusy kick. The possibilities are endless with this versatile recipe.
