Happy Thanksgiving! It's easy to eat everything we see over the holidays so I like to make a delicious dish that boosts the health bar instead of draining it!

Let's think of Tea as Potions and Food as Medicine, so if you are feeling vitamin deficient or fighting illness or disease, I implore you to find the finest ingredients your area provides. Let's Dig right in.

1- 1.5 cups Actual cranberries! If you can't find that, dried cranberries can be substituted (in emergency canned is ok but let's really try to get some non preserved, yeah?).

1 to 3 oranges, your call (some people like this dish chunky, some are weird about textures)

40 oz Apple sauce

1 pomegranite 

a few pinches of cinnamon, up to you

and two or three teaspoons honey

Wash and Cut the peels off those oranges and If you want to make old fashioned drinks later, toss them in a clean pot with water and slow boil for an hour. Smell that magic happening while they soften and take the next steps.

Now cut those oranges in half horizonally then follow that cut pattern to the end of the orange.They should be thick sliced circles. If you are feeling a different cut or shape, go for it! Get fancy, or just tear them apart, this is your time. 

Blend

20 0z apple sauce with

1-1.5 cup of cranberry

a few tablespoons of honey

a slice of an orange for fun

a pinch of cinnamon, maybe 2.

Using either one or two containers, (or serving bowls if it is the day of) pour the remaining 20 0z apple sauce in. Then add half the orange slices. Pour the blended cran/apple mixture on top and stack a few orange slices (Save some slices back for your drinks) sprinkle pomegranite and cinnamon on top.

Put it in the fridge and enjoy with your meal!

 

Old Fashioned - fall recipe

4 tablespoons of orange peel potion you boiled for an hour

1/2 cup raw organic honey 

1.5 oz Bourbon or Rye whiskey 

Ice

sugar cubes (optional)

a handful of cranberries and a few orange slices

To make the Bitters you will add a half cup of raw honey to your 4 tablespoons of orange peel potion that you previously slow boiled. The orange peel potion is thick with vitamin C, even copper, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin A!

In an old fashioned glass, pour 1.5 oz Bourbon or Rye whiskey over ice, add 1 Sugar cube (optional since we sweetened our potion already), and 2 dashes of your bitter orange peel honey potion. Add a dash of water to lighten it up. Toss in a couple cranberries instead of cherries or do whatever makes you happy! Garnish with an orange slice.

You can also add your orange peel honey potion to your juice or tea for a non alcoholic experience! 

Be thankful this busy holiday season, and make some magic moments.
