What it is
This is a beverage made entirely from pressed apples. It contains no added sugars or artificial ingredients, offering the pure taste of the fruit. The juice is typically filtered to create a clear liquid, though some varieties may be cloudy, indicating the presence of natural fruit pulp. It is a common pantry staple enjoyed by many.

Serve chilled for a refreshing drink any time of day. It is excellent on its own, especially when poured over ice.
