Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cider Base

    In a large pot, combine the pressed Fuji apple cider and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Spices

    Add the cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, five spice powder, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for at least 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld. Adjust sweetness with additional brown sugar to taste.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    After simmering, strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving pitcher or directly into mugs. Discard the solid spices.

  5. 5

    Enjoy

    Serve hot or cold, garnished with an additional cinnamon stick or orange slice if desired.
