Step 1
Pour the 4 cups apple cider into a medium saucepan. Add the 2 cinnamon sticks and 3 dried orange slices.
Step 2
Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes. You should see small bubbles around the edges, not a rolling boil.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low and let the cider steep for 10 minutes, until the cider is deeply fragrant and the orange slices have softened.
Step 4
Ladle the hot cider into mugs, using a strainer if you prefer no bits. Garnish each mug with a strip of orange peel and serve warm.
