Stir well until the sugar and spices dissolve completely.
- 3
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container.
- 4
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until it turns solid.
- 5
Take it out of the freezer. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- 6
Scrape across the top with a fork to make a slushy, icy texture.

Spoon the slush into glasses. Add a splash of lemon juice if you like.
- 8
Serve right away with a straw or spoon.
Chef's tips
Scrape the ice every so often while it freezes for a lighter, flakier slush. Use fresh-pressed local cider for the best flavor.
Storage
Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, scraping before serving.
Reheating
Not applicable; served frozen.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Letting it freeze solid without scraping, which makes it hard to serve
- •Adding too much sugar if your cider is already very sweet
