Beverage: Cranberry Tea

1 qt. cranberries
2 qt. water, divided
1/2 c. red hots
1 c. orange juice
8 to 10 cloves
juice from 4 to 5 lemons
3 c. sugar

Cook cranberries in 1 quart water until berries pop.  Strain and discard solids.  In separate pot cook 1 quart water, red hots, cloves, orange, and lemon juice.  Simmer until red hots dissolve.  Add cranberry juice and discard cloves.  This makes a concentrate to be mixed with 4 quarts hot water.  Or store and add 3/4 cup of concentrate to 1 cup water.  Serve hot.
