Ingredients
Method
- In a large stockpot, combine apple juice, cranberry juice, and brown sugar.
- Place cloves, cinnamon sticks, allspice, and star anise in a square of cheesecloth. Bring edges of cheesecloth together to completely enclose spices; secure with kitchen twine. Add spice bundle to pot along with orange slices, cranberries, and vanilla bean and reserved seeds; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Let stand for 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on desired spice level. Discard solids, and pour cider into mugs. Garnish with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and cranberries, if desired.
