For the Sangria
- 3 fruits cut small, *See Notes

- 1 cinnamon stick

To serve

Instructions
- Wash your fruits well to get rid of impurities. Cut fruits small, slice citrus fruits.
- Place fruits into a large bowl.
- Pour wine over the fruits, as well as the juice, water and the liquor.
- Throw in a cinnamon stick and sweeten with sugar.
- Combine everything by stirring through.
- Cover with a cling film and leave to soak and infuse in a cool and dry place. The longer you keep it to soak the better. I leave it overnight or for about 8 hours.
- When the sangria is ready, serve with more cut fresh fruits (+ ice cubes if you like), in a glass, jug or in the bowl.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Choose your fruits, one at least should be a citrus fruit such as orange or lemon. See suggestions and tips in post. Use only fruits which were not treated with pesticides because we leave the skin on the fruits. Cut your fruits small.
- Use a red wine to make a red sangria. You can do the same thing with a white wine or rose. Wine suggestions are mentioned in the post.
- For the juice I like to use cranberry or orange juice
- You can use water or soda/sprite
- Pick a liquor such as brandy, vodka, rum. I mention more options in the post.
- To serve up you can cut more fruits and add to the sangria because your drink will look more fresh that way.
