Ingredients

1 gallon apple cider
2 oranges sliced
5 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise pods optional
1 tablespoon whole cloves
2 cups brandy

Instructions

After slicing the oranges, make small holes in the rinds with the tip of a knife and insert the cloves in them so that they don't float free in the cider.
In a 6 quart slow cooker, combine the cider, oranges, cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, and cloves. Cook on low for 4 hours.
Just before serving, add the brandy or keep it on the side.
