Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 1 piece Black tea bag
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 2 slices Lemon slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cranberries, and cinnamon stick.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and softened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a teapot or heatproof jug. Discard the cranberry solids and cinnamon stick.
Add the black tea bag to the strained liquid and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.
Remove the tea bag and stir in honey, if desired, for sweetness.
Pour the cranberry tea into mugs, garnish with lemon slices if using, and serve warm. Enjoy!
