Ingredients

• 4 cups Apple cider
• 1 cup Strong brewed coffee
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 4 Whole cloves
• 1 Star anise
• 1 strip Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or brown sugar, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the apple cider and add the cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, and orange zest.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.

Step 3

While the cider simmers, brew a cup of strong coffee if you haven’t already prepared it.

Step 4

After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and orange zest. Discard the solids.

Step 5

Return the strained cider to the saucepan and stir in the brewed coffee, honey (or brown sugar, if using), and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Divide the spiced coffee cider evenly among four heatproof mugs.

Step 7

For an optional touch of indulgence, top each serving with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy the comforting fusion of flavors!
