Problem: How to make simple hard cider
The must is the mixture of ingredients you mix prior to the fermentation that will eventually become your cider.

Problem: How to small talk for successful business networking
Introduce and initiate.
Go ahead and initiate with a hello! Even if you recognize, or slightly know someone, re-introduce yourself. Be aware of how he introduces himself (you may know him as charles, but maybe he goes by chuck) and use his name throughout your interaction.

Answer: This will help you remember it in the long run and also establish a personal connection. By taking ownership and initiating a conversation, you will feel more in control to drive the direction of the exchange.

Problem: How to reduce sugar in baked goods
Start withholding only a little bit of sugar at a time.
Expect a lower amount of sugar to affect not only the taste, but the texture of baked goods as well. While you may be eager to cut back on sweetness, be conservative with how much sugar you leave out at first.
Answer: Each time you bake a particular item, cut the recipe's sugar by only a tenth. Then cut an additional tenth from the original amount the next time and compare the results.
