Method

Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange peel, brown sugar, and pinch of salt.
Set over medium heat and bring just to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and let it steep for 10 minutes to deepen the spice flavor.
Strain out the spices and orange peel if desired, then whisk in the caramel sauce until fully dissolved and smooth.
Taste and adjust with a little more caramel or a splash of cider if you want it sweeter or lighter.
Pour into two heatproof mugs and top with whipped cream and a light caramel drizzle, if using.
