Heat the water to approximately 104°F (40°C) and dissolve the honey in it. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a large fermenting vessel, pour in the freshly pressed apple juice. Add the honey water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel.
Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the apple juice and mix thoroughly. Seal the fermenting vessel with an airlock.
Allow the apple juice to ferment at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or until fermentation is complete. Check daily to ensure fermentation is proceeding properly.
Once fermentation is complete, strain the cider-like liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices.
Pour the strained cider into sterilized bottles. Add a small amount of sugar to each bottle for carbonation, then seal tightly.
Let the bottled cider rest for another week to allow for full carbonation. Chill before serving.
