How to make a perfect pitcher of sangria?
A pitcher of sangria is the perfect addition to any party or get-together! Sangria is a refreshing and easy-to-make Spanish punch that is traditionally made with red wine, fruit, and a variety of spices. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make a perfect pitcher of sangria:
1) Choose your wine. The type of wine you use is up to you, but a fruity red wine is traditional. Some good options include Rioja, Grenache, or Tempranillo.
2) Add fruit. Slice up some fresh fruits like oranges, lemons, and limes and add them to the pitcher.
3) Spice it up. Sangria is typically made with a cinnamon stick, cloves, and/or star anise. Add these spices to taste.
4) Sweeten it up. A little bit of sugar or honey will help to round out the flavors.
5) Let it sit. The flavors will marry better if you let the sangria sit for a few hours (or even overnight) before serving.
6) Serve chilled. Garnish each glass with a piece of fruit and enjoy!
