How to Make Canadian Tea

  1. Combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cinnamon stick, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Pour 4 cups of rapidly boiling water over the mixture.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. This allows the cranberries to release their full flavor and color.
  5. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or mugs.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with an orange slice and a sprig of fresh cranberries (optional). For a refreshing twist, chill and serve over ice.
