Cook's note
Don’t let it boil: boiling dulls the cider and turns the spices bitter. Keep it warm on the lowest setting for a party, or cool, refrigerate and reheat within 5 days.
Method
-
Pour the cider into a large pot. Add the orange rounds, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, star anise and ginger.
-
Bring just to a simmer over medium heat, then turn the heat to low.
-
Keep it barely steaming, without boiling, for so the spices infuse.
-
Taste and stir in maple syrup if your cider is tart.
-
Strain into mugs and serve hot, each with a cinnamon stick.
