Bring the water, maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, cardamom, and orange peel to a boil in a small pot. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes then remove from heat.
Cover with a lid and let the spices infuse for at least 30 minutes. The longer it rests, the stronger the flavor.
Use a couple of dashes in your morning cup of coffee and enjoy!
