These days in alot of stores they want to sell you cider that has all kinds of additives in it, spices, possibly extra sugar and artificial flavor. All I want is the good stuff like you get from cider mills. I finally found some that has nothing but apples. I think Aldi has plain cider as well, but I haven't been there lately. Do you prefer plain cider, or the other stuff in stores that passes for cider? I don't like any of it. It has a fake taste to me.

I don't know if there's a difference between juice and cider, but I lean more towards juice.

Yes, real cider is not cooked. It may not even be pasteurized but some is.

@kaylachan I suppose so. I like the straight stuff. Apple juice may be more filtered as well. Real cider isn't filtered.

@snowy22315 Wouldn't pasteurization cook it?

I would like to make my own cider if I could afford to do it. I don't like how a lot of the apple cider tastes.

I know somebody who bought their own apple press and does it. They sell them on Amazon. It takes about a bushel of apples to make a gallon of cider I think he said. That sounds like a lot but it probably does take a lot.

@Scrapper88 First you have to get a press. Maybe you could find one used on ebay...You do need alot of apples too. Actually, I just looked it up it says a peck of apples 35-40 for a gallon of cider.

@snowy22315 I have a friend who made his own apple cider. He taught me a few things about how to do it.

I bet it does. Apple vinegar is supposed to be very beneficial for you, and cider is similar..without the tang.

Yep, just give me the straight stuff. I don't need all those additives in it. Its really healthy as long as you don't drink a huge amount of it. It has a lot of sugar in it.

Cider is pure and natural and needs no help.
