The Governor's Grog

Great New England Food Festival Recipes, p. 7

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and pulp

¼ cup sugar

1 cup cranberry juice

1 cup orange juice

1 cup very strong tea (use three tea bags)

Cinnamon sticks and orange slices for garnish

In a medium saucepan heat juices, sugar, and tea together, but do not boil. 

I got extra-strong tea by using one of those tea bags that's meant to make a whole pitcher!

Pour into glass coffee mugs and garnish each with a cinnamon stick and orange slice. 

I didn't waste a whole orange on two mugs of drink, but the cinnamon stick really added a lot!

To serve cold, chill well and present in a stemmed goblet or iced tea glass, garnished the same.

My Rating: 5/5 "I should note that my husband also rated this a 5/5, and as a native New Englander he's something of a grog expert. Anyway, this is amazing. The fruity flavors plus the tea plus the cinnamon accent make it everything you've ever wanted out of a warm autumn drink. Sip it slowly and enjoy!"
