Notes

To Make Hot Cranberry Tea

To serve this cranberry tea hot, omit the ice in the pitcher and heat the remaining water, cranberry, orange, and lemon juice in the large pot on the stove after straining the spices and until heated through. Serve in a glass with sliced oranges and whole cranberries for garnish.

If not serving and enjoying the tea right away, store the cranberry tea without the sliced oranges and cranberries in a glass container in the refrigerator to protect it from elements that can alter the overall flavor and freshness.
