Spiced Cranberry Drinking Vinegar
  1. 1

    Combine vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    Stir and cover until the cranberries begin to pop.

  3. 3

    Stir again, taking care not to get burned by the popping cranberries. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries have released their juice.

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat and let steep.

  5. 5

    Strain into a container, seal, and refrigerate. Discard the pulp.
