"The best seasonings for a homemade mulled cider are quality star anise, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg as well as lemon and orange peel."
"These spices translate best in a quality local unfiltered apple cider. So while the extra ingredients will add depth to your cider, you don't want them to outshine it either."
"The important thing to remember with warm spices like cloves and star anise is that they are pungent. One too many can quickly overwhelm a drink."
"If you start with a base of one quart of cider, a single star anise pod, or even a half of one, is enough to impart the subtly sharp earthy flavor you're after."
