Ingredients
- 2 cup cranberries fresh or frozen, preferably organic
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 oz lemon juice fresh, preferably organic
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Place the cranberries in a small pot with half of the sugar and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Continue cooking until the cranberries are soft, then add the rest of the sugar. Keep stirring until all the sugar has dissolved then remove from heat.
- Place into a fine sieve and push the cranberries through the sieve to extract the syrup over a glass jug or bowl.
- Next, pour the lemon juice into a large pitcher.
- Add the cranberry syrup, and the water.
- Stir and taste, and adjust with more lemon juice, sugar, or water, as desired.

Notes
- Heat in a pot to serve during colder months.
- And no one ever said you can't add some good quality vodka (at least I didn't)!
