In a saucepan, add 1 cup of cranberries and 1 cup of water and boil until the cranberries all lose their form and become mushy solids.
Strain out the cranberry water and discard all solids.
Using a scale, add an equal amount of white sugar to your cranberry water and return back into your saucepan.
Add 1 cinnamon stick, 10 whole cloves, 1 star anise, 2 orange peels and 1 lemon peel.
Heat on medium heat until all sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat, and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Strain out all spices from the syrup and store the syrup in a tempered vessel.
