• ½ small orange
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 chunk of fresh ginger

Instructions

1. Add cranberry juice, orange, cinnamon sticks, ginger, peppercorns, cloves, and star anise in a small sauce pan and bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Turn to low, partially cover with a lid, and let warm for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat and put the lid all the way on for a few more minutes.
2. Remove the lid and strain the mixture and return it to the pan. Stir in the honey to taste.
