Spiced Tea Cranberry Sauce

This is from sunset magazine. I love earl gray tea, so i'll have to try this!!

In a 4 quart pot over high heat , combine the water , sugar and spices.

Cover and bring to a boil , then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the tea bags and simmer for 2 minutes.

Remove the tea bags and spices with a slotted spoon and add the cranberries.

Increase heat to medium-high and simmer , stirring often until cranberries soften and split their skins and the sauce thickens , about 12 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
