Apple cider is naturally a kidney friendly drink due to its low potassium content. Cut back on sugar and keep portion size reasonable if you're watching carb intake.

Ingredients
- 10 apples quartered
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice
- nutmeg, ginger, star anise are other spices that taste great with this
Instructions
- Place apples in a large stockpot and add enough water cover by at least 2 inches. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 1 hour. Cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours. I used my pressure cooker because I was short on time and I think I had it at pressure for about 20 minutes.
- Strain apple mixture though a fine mesh sieve. Discard solids. Drain cider again though a cheesecloth lined sieve. Refrigerate until cold.
- You can also make this recipe in the crockpot!
Notes
You can reduce sugar further and add a little zip with more spices.
Nutrition facts posted are for a regular, sweetened apple cider. Because the solids are strained out I had no real way of calculating the nutrient content of this recipe. Also, this makes a full jug of apple cider. I don't know exactly how much that is because I forgot to measure, but it makes plenty.
