Holiday dessert flavor. Zero oven mitts required.
Somewhere between the cookie swap and the fourth load of "where did we put the good tablecloth" laundry, you've earned a mug that asks nothing of you. Cranberry Creme is that mug.
It starts tart and bright with cranberry and hibiscus, picks up cinnamon and apple in the middle, and finishes with a soft creme note. The base is green rooibos, so it's naturally caffeine-free and works any time of day, including the late-night wrapping-paper shift.
No fancy gear needed. A mug and a strainer will do. Scoop, pour, steep, and drink it hot, or let it cool and pour it over ice.

How to Brew
Use 2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Bring the water to a full rolling boil (212°F) and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and sip. Want it lighter? Pull it a minute early. Want it bolder? Add a teaspoon rather than steeping longer.
Iced: brew hot as directed, let it cool, and pour over ice. For a stronger iced cup, use a little less water so it doesn't go flat as the ice melts.
Storage Tips
Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from heat and moisture. Reseal the bag after each scoop, squeezing out the extra air. The pantry beats the shelf over the stove.
