Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)

- 4 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 1 piece Star anise
- 3 ounces Dark rum

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, honey, cloves, cinnamon stick, star anise, and orange zest.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or measuring cup. Discard the solids.
Stir in the dark rum and lemon juice until well combined.
Divide the toddy into two heatproof mugs or glasses.
Garnish each mug with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick.
