To a small sauce pot over medium heat, add in the apple cider, sugar, chopped apples, spices, and lemon juice.
Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer for 15-25 minutes or until the apples are cooked down and soft.
Let cool completely.
Once cooled, strain through a fine mesh sieve.
If the syrup is too thick to strain, add in a little apple cider or filtered water to thin it out.
Store it in the fridge for 3-4 weeks (if it even lasts that long!)
