Does cooked apple cider juice a little sugar and cinnamon sticks need to be refrigerated or can it left out at room temperature?

It is recommended that cooked apple cider juice with sugar and cinnamon sticks should be refrigerated after preparing it. Leaving it out at room temperature for an extended period can increase the risk of bacterial growth and potential spoilage.

Refrigerating the apple cider juice will help slow down the growth of harmful bacteria and maintain its freshness and quality for a longer time. You can store the cooked apple cider juice in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator, where it can typically last for several days up to a week or so.

For optimal safety and flavor, it's best to consume the cooked apple cider juice within a few days of preparation and refrigeration.
