  1. In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and cloves.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and cover. Let steep for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.

  6. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and lemon juice.
  8. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or pitcher to remove solids.
