Ingredients

8 cups Apple cider
0.5 cup Red Hots cinnamon candies

8 Whole cloves
2 Star anise (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, pour in the apple cider and set the heat to medium.

Step 2

Add the Red Hots cinnamon candies to the pot, stirring occasionally to help them dissolve.

Step 3

Submerge the cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and whole cloves into the cider mixture.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to heat over medium heat for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the candies are fully melted and the flavors infused.

Step 5

Once the cider is hot and fragrant, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6

Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the orange slices, cloves, and cinnamon sticks.

Step 7

Pour the cider into mugs and garnish with star anise if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
