Can I add any liquid to the juice pressed from apples when making cider?

    I want to make cider. Am using blender to extract juice from apples. Is it allowed to add water to the juice, or any othe liquid such as commercial apple juice (no preservatives)?

    cloudy apple juice from Lidl or Aldi works fine for cider. Adding water will just dilute the taste and final alcohol percentage.

    Big companies like bulmers will add sugar water & flavourings to their juice, despite what their borderline illegal ads would mislead you to believe.

    As said, it will dilute the flavour so they would be adding artificial stuff back in to mimic the original flavour. Like a dilutable robinsons apple juice drink would have.

    There was some cider kit I used to get which had artificial flavourings you were meant to add in, I never used it.
