There's nothing like a warm cup of tea to liven up your month-long Christmas celebration. This cinnamon-laced cranberry tea has a bit of citrus to give it a little spark. Place the tea in a crock pot on low to keep it warm and tasty all day long.
Ingredients:
- 4 quarts water
- 1 1/2 C sugar
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- 8 C cranberry juice
- 4 C orange juice

Directions:
Pour the water into a Dutch oven pan and place it over high heat. Add the sugar and cinnamon and bring the mixture to boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and discard. Pour the cranberry juice, orange juice, and lemon juice into the mixture and stir to blend them in well. Serve warm with a cinnamon stick in each cup.
