1In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add 2 cups of honey, stirring until fully dissolved.
Add 1 cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to the pot.
Add the sliced lemon and orange to the mixture.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from heat and strain the liquid to remove the spices and fruit slices.
Serve the hot mead in mugs, garnished with a slice of lemon or orange if desired.
