More of a punch or a wassal then a tea. I threw this in the crockpot before we left for our annual tree decorating trip up a snow covered mountain. Wonderful to come home to after freezing our butts off lol The house smelled so wonderful! The spiciness armed us up right quick :) And full of VC! Next time I'll cut the sugar down or add more water since I thought it was a little to sweet. -
This strikes me more as a cider than a tea, but what the heck - it's a delicious beverage either way! We love it! -
I tagged this warming & delicious hot drink due to my fondness for cranberries & cinnamon candies + the crockpot prep method. Then I made a half recipe tonite to kill the chill of the 1st cold (27F) Icelandic nite since we returned from the US - a clear error on my part since there is not enough of it to suit me! A full recipe will grace our annual *Thanksgiving Celebration* dinner w/friends on 11/30. This is a terrific low-cal, no-fat & family-friendly treat! Thx for sharing this keeper recipe w/us. Yum! :-) -
This has been a tradition in my family for years! It has a wonderful holiday fragrance & flavor. If you haven't tried it do, you will be asked to bring it every year! Great for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Great for kids too, I loved helping my mom & sisters make this. -
This is very good -- especially for sipping something good for you on a cold day--so full of Vitamin C -- it sure will help keep colds at baby--plus being so good too! You do need to watch it a bit more than most crockpot recipes, but for a hot drink on a cold day this is great! Thanks for sharing!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
