How to Make Spiced Citrus Cider
- In a large saucepan, combine 8 cups of water, 2 lemons (juiced and zested), 2 oranges (juiced and zested), 4 cinnamon sticks, 2 star anise, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon allspice berries.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.
- In a separate saucepan, gently heat 4 cups of apple cider and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the strained citrus-spice mixture to the warmed cider and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the Spiced Citrus Cider to a slow cooker or warming carafe to keep it warm while serving. Enjoy!
