Instructions
To make a dried mix package, don't include the cranberries or fresh orange slices. You can add extra ground cinnamon, cloves and allspice to the mix too. The ground spices will release their scent faster.
If you're including the cranberries and orange, keep the bag refrigerated until gift-giving time. Don't include the ground spices, as they will stick to the orange and the cranberries.
Add the dried mix, fresh cranberries and sliced fresh or dried oranges to 2 - 3 cups water (or apple juice) in a saucepan or slow cooker. Simmer over low heat.
Never leave it unattended as the water could completely evaporate. Add water as needed. This mix will last for up to 4 days.
