Spiced Apple Cider With Kratom
Ingredients-
-Apples
-Cloves
-Orange Peel
-Cinnamon Sticks
-Nutmeg
-Fresh Ginger
-Maple Syrup
-Brown Sugar
-Water
Directions-
1-Prep everything first. Start by thoroughly washing the apples. Use a knife to remove the seeds and stem from the apples. Grab a large bowl, place a colander inside the bowl. Add a double-layered cheesecloth to the bowl and then make sure to find a smaller bowl that fits inside the colander. You’ll also need a 28-ounce can that fits inside the small bowl. This will help mimic a traditional apple press.
2-Process the apples. In the bowl of a food processor, add enough apple slices to fill the bowl about 3/4 of the way full. Pulse the apples until they break down into a sauce-like consistency. Pour this mixture into the lined colander, placed over the large bowl. And repeat this process until all the apples have been pulsed. Place the smaller bowl over the apple pulp and place the can inside the bowl. Allow our make-shift ‘press’ to squeeze out all the cider for at least 15-20 minutes. Then, bring the ends of the cheesecloth together, twist, and wring out as much of the cider from the apples as you can into the large bowl.
3-Make cider. Add the squeezed cider to a medium saucepan. Taste the cider and add sugar and maple syrup to taste. Then, add orange peels and whole cloves to a saucepan along with the cinnamon stick, kratom and water. Heat the cider nice and slow over low heat. You want the cider to get all that spice flavor, but you don’t want the cider to boil. Make sure the temperature doesn’t heat past 160-165ºF. I use my meat thermometer every 3-5 minutes to keep an eye on it. Strain the cider one last time through a fine mesh strainer to remove the orange peel and whole spices. Serve the cider in mugs immediately, make sure to add a cinnamon stick to the mug and enjoy!
