My mother would brew a batch of this hot drink when any of us children were sick. One sip and we'd instantly feel better! Now I make it for my husband and daughter on dreary winter mornings or anytime they're feeling under the weather. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries |
6 cups water, divided |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup red-hot candies |
7 whole cloves |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, cook cranberries in 2 cups water until they pop. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving juice and discarding skins; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, candies, cloves and remaining water. Cook until candies are dissolved. Add orange and lemon juices and reserved cranberry juice; heat though. Discard cloves. Serve hot. Yield: 6-8 servings (about 2 quarts).
