Cranberry Tea

Here is the fabulous Cranberry Tea recipe from Luci. It's a tradition in our house at Christmas, with its beautiful red color and cinnamony taste! MMMM.
Equipment:
You need a stockpot, sieve, and another large pan or bowl, wooden spoon.
Ingredients:
Water
1 pkg. fresh cranberries
3 1/2 C. sugar
1 cup red hots
3 oranges
3 lemons
12 whole cloves
See, it's simple!
Put cranberries in 1 qt. water and simmer until they pop.
Pour into a sieve over a bowl. Use the wooden spoon to smash the cranberries through the sieve. Scrape all the goodness on the underside of the sieve into the water. Keep at it until all that is left is a spoonful of skins. Discard those.
Back in the stockpot, put 1 qt. water, sugar, cloves, red hots. Simmer and stir until red hots are melted. Add cranberry water, juice of lemons and oranges and 3 more quarts of water. Heat. Strain and serve warm.
