In a medium saucepan, heat the apple cider over medium heat. Do not boil.
Add the cinnamon stick, orange zest, and cranberries. TIP: Gently crush the cranberries to release more flavor.
Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. TIP: Stir occasionally to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
If you prefer a sweeter cider, add a tablespoon of honey and stir well.
Strain the cider and pour into mugs or heat-resistant glasses. TIP: Use a strainer to remove the cinnamon stick and cranberry pieces.
Garnish with a pinch of cinnamon and serve warm immediately. TIP: Garnish the glass with an orange slice for extra visual appeal.
