Spanish Sangria 3 Ww Points Food

TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• Optional: If you want to use sugar to make a sweeter sangria, dissolve two tablespoons of brown sugar in two tablespoons of water over low heat to create a syrup. Afterward, let it cool.
• Juice 1.5 oranges so that you have around 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
• Chop the remaining half orange and half an apple into small pieces.
• Stir together one bottle of dry red wine, the fresh orange juice, optional syrup, brandy or vermouth (optional), and the orange and apple pieces.
• Add ice cubes (and optional a carbonated beverage) just before serving.
• Enjoy your homemade sangria!

SPANISH SANGRIA - 3 WW POINTS

• Just before serving, stir in the club soda. Pour sangria into 6 ice-filled glasses, being sure to include some fruit.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH SANGRIA

Steps:

• Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.
• Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.
• Add Liquors and stir.
• Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.
• Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.
• Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.
• Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
