INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the ingredients: Add 6 oz sliced granny smith apples, 12 oz sliced gala apples, 8 oz sliced oranges, granulated sugar (no more than 1 tbsp), 1 oz ginger, 2 star anise, 1 stick cinnamon, and 3 cups water to your Instant Pot.
Cook the cider: Seal the Instant Pot’s lid tightly. Turn the valve knob to the “Sealing” position. Set your device to the “Meat Stew” program and cook for 15 minutes.
Drain the cider: Once the timer rings, carefully turn the valve to release the steam before opening the lid. Hold a sieve over a large bowl and ladle the cider into the sieve to catch all the solid ingredients. Use the back of a spoon to mash the fruits and extract all the juice. You can discard the star anise, cinnamon stick, and ginger to help you mash easier.
Serve: Transfer the drink to your favorite glasses or mugs. Our Instant Pot apple cider can be served warm or chilled with ice.
