Instructions
Combine wine, cider, honey, rum, apple slices, clementines, and zest in a large pot (or slow cooker) set over low heat.
While liquid warms, toast cinnamon sticks, cloves, anise, vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger in a small pan for 5 minutes, tossing spices around with a wooden spoon occasionally. Add to liquid and stir well.
Allow sangria to simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring every once in a while to help the honey dissolve and the spices to incorporate. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Serve while hot, garnishing with apple and clementine slices, and a pretty star anise to complement the glass. Enjoy!
