Sweet Tea Sangria
Sangria isn’t just the perfect cocktail for summer, it’s also perfect for drinking during those moments of life when you need to pause. Summer tends to be the time of year when everyone seeks a recharge.
How to Make Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is a southern staple in most refrigerators down south. The ingredients are simple. Sugar and cold tea. Heavy on the sugar though. To make your own sweet tea brew 5 to 6 cups of water and while still warm stir in 1/2 cup to 1 cup, depending on how sweet you like it, of sugar. Chill and serve over tons of ice.
How to Make Sangria
Sangria is made of wine, brandy or liqueur, sometimes sugar, and always lots of fruit. Allowing the fruit to soak in the mixture elevates the flavors of the mixed drink. To make sangria mix the following ingredients together and let chill.
- Wine: red, white, or rose
- Brandy, rum, or orange liqueur
- Sliced fruit
- Sugar, simple syrup, or honey
Serve it over ice and enjoy!
