"Hi, my name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I’m going to show you how to make the holiday favorite Spiced Apple Cider. Alright, so I’ve got my two strainers here and I’ve got my coffee filter, and what I’m going to do is get that where it stands up on its own and then I’m going to hold it with one hand probably while I do this, because the strainers are trying to move around on me. Now we’re doing, you want to pour it in little small increments like that so that it has time to actually strain through the filter. You have to actually wait for it, it takes a few seconds sometimes, think we can get a little more in there this next time, there we go. And you’ll see it’ll catch all the, your peppercorns and your cloves and everything as it comes through. There we are and if you had a, if you had a larger amount of this to make you could, you’d need much bigger strainers to strain it with. But you could probably, you could probably use a larger coffee filter, I was using a smaller one because I, that’s the ones I have laying around. But go ahead and get everything in there, then we’re going to take our spatula, and get every last thing out into there. Now what we’ll do, is we’ll just pick this up and you can kind of just bounce it off the, off the strainers like that to kind of get everything to come out of it. And that looks like all we’re going to get, so let’s put that back in here, not too big a mess, and now we’ve got this wonderful cider. So let’s pour some into a glass and see how it came out. "
