Spiced Apple Juice with Cinnamon

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Homemade apple juice is a completely different dimension to shop-bought. Here we don't extract by pressing, but by cooking, similar to a stock. Under heat, apple cell walls soften, and pectin and natural sugars dissolve into the water, creating a silky, full-flavoured 'apple nectar'.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large saucepan
  • Fine mesh sieve or muslin
  • Ladle

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the apples thoroughly, remove the core, but leave the skin on. Cut into large cubes.

Tip: Apple skin contains lots of flavour and colour (anthocyanins in red apples) which would be a waste to throw away.
2 ✓

Put the apple in a saucepan, cover with the water, throw in the cinnamon sticks. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the apple is completely soft and falling apart.

Tip: Slow cooking (simmering) preserves aromas better than vigorous boiling.
3 ✓

Remove from heat. If you like pulpy juice, you can blend it with a stick blender; if you want clear juice, pour through a fine sieve.

Tip: Blending results in a thicker, more nutritious drink due to the fibre.
4 ✓

Stir in the honey and lemon juice while still warm.

Tip: Lemon acidity rounds off the sweet flavours and preserves the drink's vivid colour (antioxidant effect).
5 ✓

Cool completely before consuming.

Tip: We perceive sweet tastes less intensely when cold, so if tasting warm, make it slightly sweeter than necessary.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it cloudy?
Cooked apple releases a lot of fibre and pectin. If you want it clear, don't press the fruit through the sieve, just let it drip.
How long does it keep?
3-4 days in the fridge, but without preservatives it can start to ferment quickly.
