Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. This interesting and simple recipe for cider from apple juice will appeal to everyone who enjoys tart apple beverages! It's not very alcoholic, and its taste depends on the fermentation time. For example, if you let it ferment for 60 days or more, it will turn out dry and clear.
