I need a good reciepe for apple cider. I have no tool like a press or a mill or anything. Anyone got any ideas?

Not much to it... the only ingredient is apples. If you don't have a press you can do it the manual way - core then puree the apples in a food processor, dump the puree into cheesecloth & squeeze the juice out. Don't do a whole lot at a time because it only lasts about 5-7 days in the fridge, unless you want to get hardcore and pasturize it.

i worked at a cider mill as a teenager. franklin cider mill (im guessing you know the one Jeffbx ) you dont need to core the apples but i tell you Golden and Red Delicious and Ida Red mix are the best mix for a sweet cider. you also can buy a adapter to ferment the cider to make a great Apple jack. but dont pasturize the cider if you plan on making Apple Jack.:)

ps. make sure you wash out the cheese cloth good after you squeeze the cider out and dispose of the pulp .as it eat the cloth if you don't ~
