1
Prepare the Cranberries
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any impurities. Drain them well and set aside.
2
Make Cranberry Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed cranberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
4
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
5
Combine with Orange Juice
In a large pitcher, mix the cranberry syrup with the fresh orange juice. Stir to combine thoroughly.
6
Chill
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
7
Serve
Serve the drink over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with slices of fresh oranges for an added touch.
