Notes

Recipe Tips:

Do not store in the freezer. 
Don’t let sit too long at room temperature. It will go flat. 
Once you have your sparkling cider made, don’t forget to experiment with toppings. Orange peels, cranberries, chopped fruit, or even thin apple slices make excellent items to float on top of your drink.
