How to Make the BEST Homemade Apple Cider

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

Before the pandemic, I would make it a necessary trip to go to a farmers’ market and purchase my favorite fall drink, apple cider. Many still feel uneasy going out to heavily-populated places, so I figured I would share my favorite apple cider recipe that you can make yourself. This recipe takes less than ten minutes, and it is perfect for a Thanksgiving drink to serve your family.
