2025 batch is pressed.

Almost 100% Aroma apples this year. Our own trees didn't produce much at all, so i sourced some elsewhere.

Big difference is that I got a freezer and froze the apples prior to pressing them and boy I should have done that from the start!

I spent so much time building a powered mill, and so much time milling the apples and all I had to do was freeze them? Juice just poured out of them in the press!

They do look a bit gross tho, not gonna lie.

When Google says spiced rum is a good choice for a boozy hot cocoa, I do what Google says.

Should have... should have maybe added less rum. It's good! Don't get me wrong! But uh... I was looking for a cozy drink to warm me up, not something to set me on fire!
