Its cold, wet and I feel like poo.

I would much rather be in my warm home today, cuddled up under our new (and super soft) PB blanket, sipping on something warm.

That something warm would be hot tea with a little of this deliciousness below mixed in.

Enjoy.



For 5 cups of this yummy berry blend, combine 3 cups fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 strips orange peel, 6 cloves, 1/2 vanilla bean halved lengthwise, and 5 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; after about 5 minutes, reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, 10 minutes more. Let cool a bit; pour through a strainer into a pitcher. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week.

Not only can this be mixed in with hot tea, you can sip it cold with soda water, vodka or white wine if you are in the mood for a spritzer!
