   • In a saucepan, combine the cloves, cinnamon stick, cranberry juice, and water.
   • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, allowing the spices to infuse the liquid with their aromatic flavors.

2. Infuse and Strain:

   • Once the mixture reaches a boil, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat.
   • Let the spices steep in the liquid for about 3 minutes to fully infuse their flavors.
   • After steeping, strain the mixture to remove the cloves and cinnamon stick, discarding them to ensure a smooth consistency for your lemonade base.

3. Sweeten to Perfection:

   • Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and place it back on the stove over low heat.
   • Add the sugar to the infused liquid, stirring gently until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a sweetened base for your spiced lemonade.

4. Incorporate the Lemonade:

   • Once the sugar has dissolved, add the lemonade to the saucepan, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
   • Allow the mixture to heat through, ensuring that it’s warm and inviting for serving.

5. Serve and Garnish:

   • Ladle the spiced lemonade into mugs or heatproof glasses, ready to be enjoyed by eager guests.
   • For an extra festive touch, garnish each serving with half an orange slice and a sprig of mint or a green cherry, adding a pop of color and freshness to your beverage presentation.

Tips:

• For a more intense spice flavor, you can increase the amount of cloves and cinnamon used in the recipe.
• Adjust the sweetness level according to your preference by adding more or less sugar to the mixture.
• To make a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredients, ensuring that you have enough to satisfy all your guests.
