Add the honey and water to a small saucepan.

Let it come to a light boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes while occasionally stirring

Turn off the heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container

First we will warm up the apple cider (you can also use apple juice if preferred) If using the microwave, start with 1 minute and continue heating in 30 second intervals until desired temperature. If using the stovetop, use a small saucepan and heat on low until it starts steaming.

Add your Bacan Guaro to a heat-safe glass or mug. Then add the honey simple syrup and lemon juice. Lastly add your warmed apple cider and give it a stir

For an optional garnish, slice three thin apple slices, stack them and stick a cocktail pick through one end. Gently fan out the apple slices and place in glass. You can also garnish with a lemon wheel, cinnamon stick, or star anise pod.

Serve immediately and enjoy your Hot Bacan Cider!
