- Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise and orange slices.
- Stir in the honey and let everything steep gently for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Strain out the spices.
- Pour into pre-warmed glasses and garnish with an orange slice and cinnamon stick.
Garnish: Orange slice and cinnamon stick
Pro tip: Let the cider simmer gently and do not boil it, so the fine apple aromas and the alcohol are preserved.
