Cranberry Tea

Known for their tangy, refreshing taste, Cranberries (Vaccium 
oxycocoos) were supposedly part of the first Thanksgiving in 
1621, but did not become a national tradition until after the 
Civil War. A small evergreen shrub, which grows in mountain 
forests and damp bogs from Alaska to Tennesee, the Cranberry 
bush produces pink or purple flowers in spring and brighte red 
berries in the fall. 

High in Vitamin C, Cranberries were a 
favorite among early sailors for preventing scurvy. Crannberries 
make flavorful jams and preserves and are used in a variety of 
beverages. It was 19th century German chemists who researched 
and defined many of Cranberry's valuable health benefits.
