Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 gallon apple cider
  • 4 whole cinnamon sticks
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon whole allspice
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 1 large orange, sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, and star anise in a large pot.
  2. Add the orange slices to the pot.
  3. If you prefer a sweeter cider, stir in the brown sugar now.
  4. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for at least 20 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
  6. Taste the cider. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Remove from heat. Discard the whole spices and orange slices, or leave them in for presentation.
  8. Serve warm in mugs.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of bourbon or dark rum when serving.

  • Use high-quality, unfiltered apple cider for the best taste.
