Question

Is it permissible to prepare a 'cider' drink on Shabbat, made from apple concentrate with a cinnamon stick, by pouring boiling water over them?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

Since both the concentrate and the cinnamon are not cooked, it is forbidden to pour boiling water over them, and even from a secondary vessel it is forbidden due to their ease of cooking.

It can only be done with water that is not 'yad soledet bo'.
