I tried some from a friend's friend that visited from down south and really liked it. So it got me to start looking at making some for myself. Found a simple recipe that went as followed.
1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
750 ml everclear
Cinnamon sticks
Put juices and sugars in big pot and bring to boil. Then stir till all sugar is dissolved. Let cool then pour all the everclear in and stir till mixed. Pour in mason jars and put one cinnamon stick in each before sealing. Let sit for two weeks and enjoy.
So I did this and it came out good. The wife thinks I should have used half a cinnamon stick in each and it was to sweet for her. I brought a jar in to work today and I'm going to have a few people try it so I can get some feed back for my next batch. I also just ordered one of those alcohol percentage glass tubes so I can see what my alcohol percent will be for new batches I make.
Does anyone have any pointers or recipes they would like to share?
