How to Make Hot Spiced Cranberry Apple Cider
- Combine 4 cups apple cider, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, 2 star anise, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
- Remove from heat and let steep, covered, for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof pitcher or serving bowl to remove solids.
- Pour into heatproof mugs or glasses. Garnish with orange slices, cranberries, and a cinnamon stick (optional).
