etcetera, there are dozens of threads about making real cider floating around. Those two just happened to be on THIS PAGE.
You need: a mix of cider apples (bittersweets and bittersharps, or an appropriate mix of eaters/cookers/crabs) and a press of some sort.
Try reading 'Real Cider Making on a Small Scale' by Michael Pooley and John Lomax, it outlines the basics and is only a fiver on Amazon.
