1
Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the apple cider, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, sliced ginger, and honey or sugar.
2
Heat the Mixture
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Avoid boiling to preserve the flavors.
3
Simmer
Let the cider simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the cider.
4
Taste and Adjust
Taste the cider and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more honey or sugar, if desired.
5
Serve Hot or Cold
If serving hot, strain the cider to remove spices and serve in mugs topped with whipped cream if desired. For a cold version, allow the cider to cool, strain, and serve over ice.
