1. Pour the apple cider and water into the crock pot.
2. Add the cubed mango, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, and sliced ginger to the crock pot.
3. If you'd like a sweeter cider, stir in the brown sugar at this point.
4. Set the crock pot to low and cook for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. After 2 hours, stir the cider gently and taste-test. Adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding more brown sugar or honey.
6. Strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fruit, spices, and solids.
7. Serve hot in mugs and garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice, if desired.
8. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated on the stovetop or in the crock pot.
