RECIPE NAME:  SANGRIA
RECIPE BY: BON APPETIT!
SERVING SIZE: 4 persons
PREPARATION TIME: 1 hour (it is suggested to let the fruits marinate 4 hours if you have time but 1hr. is fine)
 INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup sugar -
1 cup  cold water -
1  - lime sliced
1 - orange sliced
12 - ice cubes -
1 bottle red wine -
 
DIRECTIONS:
  • Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over moderate heat stirring almost constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar is disolved.
  • When the syrup just reaches the boiling point remove the pan from the heat and add the lime and orange.
  • Allow the fruits to marinate in the syrup at room temperature  for 1 to 4 hours depending how much time you have ahead of you before serving.
  • Some people add the wine at this stage but I don't.
  • Place the content of an ice cube tray in a glass pitcher and add the fruits and syrup.
  • Fill the pitcher with the bottle of red wine.
  • Place one slice of lime and one slice of orange in every glass and fill the glasses from the pitcher.
Notes: Delicious on a sunny day. Add lemon or grapes to your liking. This recipe can easily be doubled.
