The process of making homemade apple cider is a labor of love that begins with selecting the perfect variety of apples. From there, the apples are washed, crushed, and pressed to extract their sweet and tangy juice. This juice is then fermented to create the signature tart and refreshing flavor that sets homemade apple cider apart from other beverages. Whether made in small batches at home or enjoyed at a local orchard, homemade apple cider is a true testament to the beauty of simplicity and the bounty of the autumn harvest.
