步骤说明

1. 1

   Pour the apple cider into a large saucepan and set over ^[medium heat].

2. 2

   Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, allspice berries, star anise (if using), nutmeg, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to begin dissolving the sugar.

3. 3

   Add the orange rounds and lemon rounds (if using), pressing them lightly into the cider.

4. 4

   Bring the cider up to a gentle simmer over ^[medium heat] — do not boil. Reduce heat to ^[low] once you see small bubbles forming around the edges.

5. 5

   Simmer on ^[low heat] for 15 minutes, allowing the spices and citrus to fully infuse the cider. The liquid will deepen in color and your kitchen will smell amazing.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust: add more brown sugar for sweetness, or let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes if you'd like a more concentrated spice flavor.

7. 7

   Strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve into mugs, discarding the whole spices and citrus rounds.

8. 8

   Serve hot, garnished with a fresh cinnamon stick and/or a fresh orange slice on the rim if desired.
