Preparation

• Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and remove any stems or impurities.

• In a large pot, combine the cranberries and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

• Reduce the heat and let the cranberries simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they start to soften and release their juices.

• Add hibiscus tea and sweet basil to the drink.

• While the cranberries are simmering, juice the lemons and set the juice aside.

• After the cranberries have softened, use a blender to mash them and release more flavor.

• Add the lemon juice, cloves, cinnamon stick, and ginger root to the pot. Stir to combine.

• Simmer the mixture for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

• Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids.

• While the liquid is still warm, add honey, stirring well until it dissolves completely.

• Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a pitcher or glass bottles and refrigerate until chilled.

• Enjoy!
