Method

FROM THE BAR

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, combine the apple cider, fresh lemon juice, and brown sugar. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, and sliced fresh ginger to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher to remove the spices.

  5. 5

    Chill the Cider

    Let the cider cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

  6. 6

    Serve the Cider

    In a glass, combine 1 cup of the chilled spiced cider with 1/3 cup of sparkling water and a handful of ice cubes. Stir gently.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Top with apple slices for garnish and serve immediately.
