Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan 2-3qt

  • 1 heat-safe pitcher
  • 6 mugs or chilled glasses for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups apple cider unfiltered

    In a medium saucepan, combine 6 cups apple cider, 1 large orange, 6 whole cloves, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, and 1.5 inch fresh ginger.
    Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Infuse the Flavours
    Reduce heat to low and let steep uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the spices and citrus to fully release their aroma.
  • Strain & Cool Slightly
    Remove from heat and strain into a heatproof pitcher or large jar.
    Let the liquid cool to below 160°F (70°C) to preserve cannabinoid potency.

    Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  • Serve & Enjoy
