Step 1

Core and roughly chop your apples (no need to peel). Place them in a large soup pot. Slice your orange into rings and add it to the pot, again, no need to peel the skin.

Step 2

Add spices: 3-4 cinnamon sticks, 1 whole nutmeg, 2 tsp whole cloves.

Step 3

Drizzle the top with honey, then pour in 11 cups water to cover your fruit.*

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and lightly boil uncovered for 1 hour. Reduce heat to medium/low, cover and simmer another 2 hours. The juice should begin to turn amber in color when it's finished. Add more honey and hot water to taste. It should be sweet and spicy.

Step 5

Strain your cider through a fine mesh colander or through a cheese cloth placed over a regular colander. Squeeze out as much juice as you can and discard the fruit pulp. Serve hot.
