Lingonberry Orange Cinnamon Drink

You can make this same wholesome fruit drink with cranberries. I usually go with cranberries, because lingonberries give the drink a pretty distinctive flavor that isn't a big hit in my house — so when I do make a lingonberry batch, it's just for me. If you're not a fan of lingonberries, swap them out for cranberries right from the start.
