Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
• 1 stick cinnamon stick
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dried chamomile flowers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the water, cranberries, ginger slices, and the cinnamon stick.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. The cranberries will begin to burst, releasing their juices.

Step 4

If using chamomile flowers, add them to the mixture during the last 5 minutes of simmering.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat and strain the tea into a teapot or heat-resistant pitcher, discarding the solids.

Step 6

Stir in the raw honey and fresh lemon juice until fully dissolved.

Step 7

Serve the medicinal cranberry tea warm, garnished with an additional lemon slice or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
