Notes
- As you blend the apples, they'll will turn brown due to oxidation. This is not a problem, particularly and you can prevent that by adding lemon juice or any other juice high in Vitamin C.
- If your apples are very sweet then a good ratio for the Apfelschorle is 1 part of apple juice 1 part water.
