1
Prepare the Cider Base
In a large saucepan, combine the apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange slices. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to steam, but do not let it boil.
2
Sweeten the Cider
Once the cider is steaming, stir in the maple syrup and nutmeg. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the cider.
3
Serve the Cider
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the cider to remove the spices and orange slices. Pour the hot cider into mugs.
4
Garnish
Top each mug with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
