-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-gallon fresh apple cider
2 medium oranges (one for garnishing (optional)
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger
5 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks (more for garnishing (optional)
1 tablespoon whole cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons of Chinese Five-Spice powder, or 5-star anise pods
2 cups dark, spiced rum

INSTRUCTIONS
Pour the cider or juice into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, or a Dutch oven. Cut the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cut the ginger into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Add both to the slow cooker.
Add the cinnamon sticks, Chinese Five-Spice powder, and whole cloves. To make it easier to serve, place the cloves in a tea ball first, or place in a double layer of cheesecloth or coffee filter, gather it up into a sachet, and tie closed with kitchen twine. OR, stud an apple with the whole cloves.
Cover and cook until the flavors meld, about 4 hours on LOW.
Add the rum and stir to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Keep warm and serve in mugs garnished with orange slices and cinnamon sticks.

RECIPE NOTES
Apple cider: Buy fresh apple cider or unfiltered apple juice for the best flavor. Do not use sparkling cider, spiced cider, hard cider, or clear apple juice.

Rum: sub in bourbon or brandy to your preference. To make it a "family friendly" drink, leave out the rum so that children can enjoy it as well. Offer the rum "on the side" for the adults to add to their own mugs at serving.
Storage: Leftover cider can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
