Tea Sangria Recipe

Ingredients:
Black Tea: 4 cups, brewed and cooled
Red Wine: 1 bottle (750 ml), preferably a fruity variety like Merlot or Zinfandel
Orange Liqueur: 1/2 cup (e.g., Triple Sec or Cointreau)
Honey: 1/4 cup (or simple syrup to taste)
Orange Juice: 1 cup, freshly squeezed
Lemon Juice: 1/4 cup, freshly squeezed
Mixed Fruits: 1 cup, sliced (oranges, lemons, limes, apples, berries)
Cinnamon Sticks: 2-3
Mint Leaves: For garnish

Brew the Tea: Brew 4 cups of strong black tea. Let it cool to room temperature.

Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, red wine, and orange liqueur.

Sweeten It Up: Add honey or simple syrup to taste, ensuring it dissolves completely.

Add Citrus: Pour in the freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice.

Fruit Infusion: Add the sliced fruits and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher.

Chill: Refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over. Garnish with mint leaves and additional fruit slices if desired.

Tips:
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the red wine with a non-alcoholic red grape juice or pomegranate juice.

Experiment with different types of tea, such as green tea or herbal blends, to add a unique twist to your sangria.

Add sparkling water or club soda just before serving for a fizzy touch.
Enjoy your refreshing and innovative Tea Sangria! Cheers!
