Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Brew the Black Tea
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Once steeped, remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Cranberry Syrup
In a separate pot, combine 1 cup of fresh cranberries and 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids, pressing down on the cranberries to extract as much liquid as possible.

Add Cold Water
