Ingredients
  

For the Honey Infused Cranberry Juice
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries Choose ripe, plump cranberries for the best flavor.
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey Adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Bowl or Pitcher
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Step 2: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries have burst and softened.
  3. Step 3: Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the mixture into a bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solid cranberries to extract as much juice as possible.
  4. Step 4: While the juice is still warm, add honey and vanilla extract (if using). Stir thoroughly until the honey is fully dissolved.
  5. Step 5: Allow the juice to cool at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. Step 6: Serve the juice over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

For a zesty twist, incorporate the juice of one orange or lemon into the mixture. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a dose of Vitamin C!
