This is a drink that we would have regularly at Christmastime when I was young. I made a batch yesterday and loved how the house smelled. This would be great to serve if you are having a big get together. This recipe provides lots to drink and makes your house smell very welcoming.
When I made this yesterday, I was surprised by how sweet it is. When I reheated a cup this morning, I added a little water to dilute the sweetness. I’d suggest lessening the amount of sugar when you try this recipe.
I’m sharing the recipe as my Mom gave it to me. Give it a try!
Cranberry Tea
1 Qt. Cranberry juice cocktail
3/4 cup fresh squeezed O J
1/4 cup lemon juice
Heat cranberry juice, red hots and sugar over medium heat until sugar and red hots are dissolved. Strain O J and lemon juice
and add to cranberry mixture. Add 2 qts water. Heat over low heat. Serve hot.
Enjoy!!!!!!
