This is as close as I have found to sangria in Spanish restaurants. No soda here! This is a mulled sangria that really draws out the flavors. Prep time does not include chilling overnight. Ingredients:
3 large valencia oranges |
1 lime |
2 -4 lemons |
1 cinnamon stick |
6 teaspoons caster sugar |
3 fresh lime leaves |
2 (750 ml) bottles red wine |
400 ml brandy |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Juice citrus (200-300 mL) into a small saucepan; add sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon stick (snapped up) to juice in saucepan. Heat liquid, while stirring, until until steam rises.
2. Pour liquid into a heat proof jug or allow liquid to cool first.
3. Pour wine into container with brandy.
4. Add juice/spice mix, stir. Add leaves, crushed and deveined. Chill 24 hours.
5. You can also add any other fruits you like! If I add apples or pears, I like to soak them in the brandy overnight before adding them to the sangria. YUM!
