Instructions
Cranberry Orange Base
- To a pot, add fresh cranberries, cranberry juice, blood orange juice (or regular orange juice), sugar, nutmeg, cloves, and Green Coffee Bean Powder (Optional). Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Note, the cranberries may burst from the heat and make a popping sound. This is normal, just keep an eye on the mixture because it can bubble over with the heat.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, lower the heat to medium low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
- Very carefully pour the hot Cranberry Orange Base through a strainer into a mason jar or heat proof container, catching the cranberries and cloves inside the strainer. Feel free to strain a second or third time if needed to remove the orange pulp.
- Let the Cranberry Orange Base cool at room temperature for at least an hour before adding a lid and storing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
