Cranberry iced tea is very refreshing, even if you are not in Boston

A wonderfully tart recipe for cranberry iced tea. The name comes from the cranberry bogs in the Boston area (so I’ve been told). Regardless, it’s a very refreshing drink for a summer’s day.

• 4 quarts water
• 1 cup sugar
• 15 tea bags
• 12 oz frozen cranberry juice concentrate

Heat water to boiling, and add sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add tea bags, remove from heat and let steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, and add cranberry juice concentrate. Stir until melted and mixed, then allow to cool to room temperate before refrigerating. Serve over ice.

This is a peppy tea to give you some energy. It's nice and tart.
