For 10 servings
Combine all juices. Pour the apple cider, orange juice, and lemon juice into a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Stir gently to combine.
Add spices and simmer gently. Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, allspice berries, star anise, and sliced ginger directly into the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not let it come to a rolling boil. Once simmering, reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting, cover the pot, and let it infuse for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a deeper, more robust flavor.
Sweeten and serve. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the brown sugar if using. Continue to stir until it has completely dissolved. Taste the wassail and adjust sweetness if necessary. Carefully strain the wassail through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or another pot to remove all the whole spices. Ladle the hot wassail into mugs, garnish with a fresh orange slice, and serve immediately.
