Cider is a refreshing drink made from the juice of apples. It can be enjoyed in various forms, from sweet to dry, and sometimes even sparkling. The process of making cider involves pressing apples to extract their juice, which is then fermented with yeast. This fermentation gives cider its unique flavors and can take several weeks to months. There are two main types of cider: hard cider, which contains alcohol, and non-alcoholic cider, often enjoyed as a warm beverage in the fall. Many people love to pair cider with cheese or enjoy it during harvest festivals, celebrating the bounty of autumn.
