Notes

For added sweetness add some blueberries or other spices if preferred. Such as cinnamon or nutmeg or all spice. Currents or raisins may also be added.

Another way is to half the water with orange juice, as cranberry goes well with oranges. The sugar may also be lessened but starting off with half and adding for sweetness required. Everything goes by taste.
