Ingredients

Execution Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice, cinnamon sticks, orange slices, whole cloves, and star anise.

  2. 2

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to let the spices diffuse.

  4. 4

    Strain the spiced cider into mugs and serve hot, garnished with a fresh cinnamon stick if desired.

Liquid apple juice provides the perfect medium to extract aromatic oils from cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. Simmering on low heat prevents excessive water evaporation while maximizing spice concentration. A warm hug for your neural receptors.
