How to Make Marley's Mulled Cider

  1. Combine apple cider, orange juice, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, star anise, and orange zest in a large pot or slow cooker.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat (or set slow cooker to low).
  3. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
  4. If using a slow cooker, simmer on low for 2-3 hours.
  5. Remove from heat and let steep for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
  6. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer to remove spices.
  7. If desired, stir in rum before serving.
  8. Serve warm in mugs, garnished with an orange slice, cinnamon stick, or star anise.
