Holiday CRANBERRY SPICED TEA
(Yes, feel free to add a "kick" to this if you wish)
1 lb. fresh or frozen cranberries
3 quarts cold water
2 cups orange juice
2 ⅛ cups pineapple juice
¼ cup lemon juice
2 cups white sugar (or less; I use 1 ½ cups)
1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
1 tsp whole cloves
½ tsp whole allspice berries
1. Place cranberries and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and cook just until the berries pop, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand at room temperature until cold, several hours or overnight.
2. Strain out the cranberries and stir the orange juice, lemon juice and sugar into the liquid. Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves and allspice berries. Bring to a boil. It is ready to serve at this point, but even better if allowed to sit overnight, refrigerated.
Note: I usually can't find plain pineapple juice, so I use a bottled orange pineapple juice with the rest of the orange and lemon juices. As long as the total amount of juice is the same and adjusted to taste, it has worked out nicely
