For a deeper flavor, consider adding a few slices of fresh ginger or a star anise to the pot during simmering. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your personal preference. Taste the cider after simmering and add more sugar if needed. If you prefer a less pulpy cider, be sure to strain it thoroughly through cheesecloth. This cider can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for longer storage; just be sure to leave some headspace in the container as it will expand when frozen.
