i want a sweeter TC...help?

[Chard]

i like cider but i quite like the sweetness of it as well

Ive got some TC on at the mo (4L sainos apple juice, yeast, 1/2 cup strong tea)

but im worried like evryone elses and like my previous cider experiments it will end up dry to the point of being almost dehydrating rather than refreshing

I'd rather not backsweeten with splenda or anything though. is there anything i can backsweeten with that wont ferment into bottlebombs or should i just dilute with apple juice or lemonade before i drink?

Don't ferment it too long so stop it when it reaches 1010 - you may have to experiment with different FGs - and try using an Ale yeast as these are supposed to result in sweeter Ciders.
