In a large saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, sugar, apple juice, whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the spiced tea mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, strain the mixture to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks.
Transfer the Cranberry Spiced Tea to a large pitcher or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, stir the chilled spiced tea mixture well.
Serve the Cranberry Spiced Tea over ice, if desired.
