This Christmas season I dragged this recipe out from my overly stuffed recipe book.  Great memories of drinking this tea on cold nights.  It was given to me by my neighbor Karen Hansen.

Cranberry Tea

1 Qt. Fresh cranberries (can use frozen)
2 Qt. water

Boil until all the cranberries pop.  Strain through a cheesecloth pressing all the juice from the berries.

In a separate pan:

2 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 (or more) Sticks cinnamon
Boil gently for 10 minutes.

Then add cranberry liquid and sugar syrup together.  At this point, you can store until ready to use in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

Before Serving: 2 cups orange juice and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and heat with the cranberry Tea base.
