[recipe] Sangria ~ how I did it

[Guest guest]

Sangria

 

Adapted from a recipe in the 'Vegetarian

Epicure Book Two' by Anna Thomas.

 

I know didn't follow her recipe exact since

I never bought any brandy that her recipe called

for [she listed 1/3 cup brandy]. So here is how

I made it:

 

Sangria

 

1/2 gallon dry red wine

1/3 cup sugar

3 large oranges

2 large lemons

1/4 cup Triple Sec

ice cubes

1 1/2 cups club soda

 

Pour wine into a pitcher and stir in sugar.

Add 2 sliced oranges, squeezing out the

juice before adding in, and also doing the

same with one of the lemons. Stir well and

then chill for a few hours.

Take the slices out of the sangria and add in

the freshly sliced remaining orange and lemon.

You can either leave them floating in the sangria

or use to garnish each drink; I liked letting them

float about.

Stir in the Triple Sec and just enough ice to

keep drink cold while not refrigerated. Add the

club soda right before serving.

Yield: almost 3 quarts sangria

 

I'd love seeing some other recipes for this and learning

how you make sangria.

At the sound of the bell in the silent night,

I wake from my dream in this dreamworld of

ours. Gazing at the reflection of the moon in a

clear pool, I see, beyond my form, my real form.
