Pour the apple juice and water into a medium saucepan and begin to heat over medium heat.
Peel the banana and mash it with a fork or use a blender to puree it. This will make it easier to incorporate into the cider later.
Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange zest to the saucepan to infuse the drink with a delicious spiced aroma.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
Remove from the heat and stir in the honey and lemon juice to achieve a slightly tart yet sweet flavor.
Strain the cider mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and any larger pieces of banana.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while warm. Garnish with a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
