This tasted like citric acid. If you add a cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, more spices, and maybe some more cider it may be edible.

this is a great recipe for the fall. My two granddaughters love it. I have a hard time finding apple cidar in the markets until now the stores carry it only for the holidays. I always make it for Halloween.
