How to Make Apple Black Currant Cider

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the sliced apples, water, sugar, and Ribena concentrate.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the orange zest and cinnamon sticks.
  5. Let the cider steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  6. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into mugs.
  7. Garnish each mug with an additional cinnamon stick and a strip of orange peel. Serve warm and enjoy!
