Citrus Cranberry Tea

Submitted by CookingONTheSide

"The title is a little misleading because there are no tea bags involved. However, this is a deliciously, hot, tangy brew that's full of fruit flavor. This is great for a party or feel free to scale down the recipe for just a few guests."

A delicious 'tea' that is very warming on a cold winter's night. I love the flavour combinations, but will cut back on the sugar in future. Yummo!

I made up 1 quart of this deliciously, refreshing drink, put it in the fridge to cool, and served it, iced, with dinner. Loved everything about it - especially the rich, spicy undercurrent.

This is real good. Great for warming you up on a chilly night. I love cranberry and orange juice anyway, heated with cinnamon and lemon juice is even better. Congratulations on your Football Pool win.

This was wonderful. It was easy to make and had the perfect sweet/tart taste for me. I also loved the cinnamon in the background. I used fresh squeezed pulpy lemon juice and OJ. It's a keeper! Made for Holiday tag.

This is really delicious. I used Splenda in place of sugar. The juice mix is a very good one and it very good warm or cold. Very simple to make and easy to enjoy. An excellent mix of sweetness and tang.
