Base Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Simmer and Serve

  1. 3

    Simmer

    Once the mixture reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

  2. 4

    Strain and Serve

    After 30 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve to remove the spices and solids. Serve warm in mugs.

  3. 5

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, add sliced apples, orange slices, and a star anise to each mug for garnish before serving.
