As I’ve written previously, I’ve been on a Super Foods kick lately.  I’ve also been reading a lot about the liver and the many advantages to keeping your liver as healthy as possible.  This tea combines black tea, a super food, and unsweetened cranberry juice, a liver cleaner.  Why not keep a pitcher in your fridge to sip on throughout the day?

Ingredients for Semi-Sweet Tea

• 2 qts. water
• 8 tea bags - I like PG Tips
• 3 Tbsp. sugar - I use turbinado sugar
• 1 Tbsp. whole cloves
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp. lemon or orange zest - preferably organic
• 2 cups unsweetened cranberry juice - I use RW Knudsen brand

Instructions

1. In a 4 qt. stock pot, pour the water, sugar and add the tea bags.
2. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick (break it into pieces) and citrus zest to a diffuser and drop in the stock pot.
3. Bring the water to a bubble then turn off heat.
4. Allow tea to cool a bit then pour in into a pretty pitcher.  Add the cranberry juice, stir to combine then chill in the refrigerator.
