Lemon Apple Ginger Cider Recipe

Materials:

  1. a lemon
  2. fresh ginger
  3. star anise or allspice (optional)
  4. a cinnamon stick
  5. dried clove buds
  6. jug of fresh apple cider (not from concentrate!)
ginger lemon apple

Preparation:

  • Warm a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cloves and the cinnamon stick. If you like star anise or allspice, you could add a couple of pieces of those too. Warm the spices for a minute and then add the apple cider.

  • Scrub the lemon with soap and rinse it well. Cut the pithy ends off of it. Slice it into quarters. Score the inside of the lemon with a knife and squeeze each slice gently into the cider. You don’t need to juice it completely; just coax some of the juice out for now. Drop in the lemon slices and go to work on the ginger while everything warms up.

  • Using the edge of a spoon, peel the ginger. If you want your cider super gingery, peel two fingers of it. One is probably enough for most people, but I like mine spicy. When the ginger’s clean, grate it into a small bowl. Squeeze any extra juice out into the bowl and include the pulp. (You could also blend it, but then you’d have to clean the blender.)

  • Add all the ginger bits to the cider and bring it up to a simmer.

  • Stir the cider and turn it down low. Taste it carefully to check the temperature and flavor. It can sit there for a while if you’re baking or waiting for friends. When you’re ready to serve it, ladle the cider through a small strainer into mugs.

BENEFİTS OF LEMON ZEST

Today we will talk about the lemon peel and grated One of the easiest ways to infuse a citrus flavor into a baked good of some kind is to add lemon, lime or orange zest to it.  Zest is not the same thing as the peel, or rind, of a lemon, although it is a part of the peel. The zest is the colorful outer layer of the citrus peel. The soft, white part of the peel just underneath the zest is the pith. The reason that the zest is so desireable is that it contains lots of essential oils that make for a strong, pleasant flavor. The pith has a bitter flavor, with very little citrus taste when eaten on its own. The pith can actually give your baked good a bitter or slightly unpleasant taste if you incorporate it into a recipe (there are some recipes that call for using a whole fruit, but those usually compensate with extra sugar), so it is important to remove only the zest from the citrus rind when you are using it. The zest can be removed very carefully with a sharp pairing knife, ...
