Instructions
Add apples, oranges, cranberries to the inner stainless steel pot of the Instant Pot.
Add the spices and brown sugar.
Pour enough water to cover the fruits. I would roughly start with 1000ml and go up to 1250ml.
Secure the lid and turn the vent to sealing position.
Pressure Cook on HIGH for 15 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Quick Pressure Release afterwards.
When the Pin drops, open the Instant Pot Lid. Remove the spices with the tongs and discard.
Mash the fruits with the potato masher until most of the pulp is squeezed out.
Transfer the fruit along with the juice through a fine mesh to obtain a smooth apple cider drink.
Pour them in glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, star anise and serve.
