Ingredients
12 whole allspice
3 small cinnamon sticks
2 t. whole cloves
12 cups water
12 tea bags (an orange-spice tea is nice)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
Preparation
Combine allspice, cinnamon, and cloves with the water in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Cover and steep for about 5 minutes. Stir and strain. Strain a second time to clarify (a coffee filter is handy here). Add sugar and stir until dissolved. At serving time stir in juices pour into a glass or stainless steel pan, and reheat before serving time.
