Main Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the apple cider, water, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, grated nutmeg, and sliced orange. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Simmer the Cider

    Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  2. 3

    Strain and Serve

    After 30 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove the spices and orange slices.

Garnishing

  1. 4

    Add Garnishes

    If desired, add fresh apple slices and a dollop of whipped cream to each cup when serving for an extra festive touch.
