There are so many things I love about this recipe. For one, it makes my house smell so cozy and delicious. It's also a “set it and forget it” recipe. (I love those!) And, I can make it ahead and serve it to a crowd — with or without the rum added.

Directions
Combine the apple cider, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, ginger and orange in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cover and simmer (do not boil) for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Strain the cider through a wire mesh strainer into another saucepan. Stir in the rum. Ladle the cider into serving mugs and garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks.
Cook’s Note
If a sweeter cocktail is desired, add 1/3 cup brown sugar.
