How to Make Hearthside Cider

  1. Combine apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange slices in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more intense the flavors will become.
  4. After 2 hours, remove from heat and let the cider steep for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, remove the cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange slices. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids if desired.
  6. Serve warm in mugs, optionally garnished with a cinnamon stick, orange slice, or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
