Hot Cranberry Drink
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 6-8 servings (about 2 quarts).
My mother would brew a batch of this hot drink when any of us children were sick. One sip and we'd instantly feel better! Now I make it for my husband and daughter on dreary winter mornings or anytime they're feeling under the weather.
