2 Cups Apple Juice.

2 cinnamon sticks (2inches).

60ml fresh lemon juice.

120ml Aqua faba (canned chick peas juice).

Procedure.

Place the diced apples, cinnamon stick and the juice on a sauce pan. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, ensure to keep stirring gently until the diced apples are soft.

Place aside to cool then using a fine strain or a cheesecloth, filter the new liquid. Press the cooked apples gently to acquire as much apple flavours into your new liquid as possible.

Add in the lemon juice and aqua faba. Store in a sanitized air tight jar then refrigerate.
