How to Make Cranberry Apple Tea

  1. Combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, 1-inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced ginger, 4 whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, and 4 cups of water in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst open.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).
  5. Add 2 black tea bags (or your favorite tea) and let steep for 5 minutes, stirring gently once halfway through.
  6. Line a fine-mesh sieve with two layers of cheesecloth and carefully strain the tea, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
