As the days get cooler (and seem to get shorter), one of my favorite things to do is relax in the evening with a good book or art project and sip on warm tea. Below is one of my favorite seasonal cranberry tea recipes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Warm Spiced Cranberry Tea

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 quarts water
• 1 (12 ounce) package cranberries
• 1 1/3 cups agave nectar
• 2 oranges, juiced
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 12 whole cloves
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Directions: In a large pot, combine water and cranberries. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add agave nectar, orange juice, lemon juice, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Cover, and steep for 1 hour. 

Tips: Can be kept warm in a slow cooker or in an electric tea kettle. Leftover tea can be strained and refrigerated for cold tea.
