In a large saucepan, combine the apple cider, orange juice, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, sliced oranges and lemon rounds.
Slowly bring the mixture to a very gentle simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to infuse the flavours into the cider. Do not let it boil as this will evaporate the alcohol.
Once the punch is warm and fragrant, remove it from the heat and stir in the gin.
Let the punch sit for a few minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
Serve warm.
