1

Prepare the fruits

Start by slicing 2 oranges, 2 lemons, and 2 limes into thin, round segments. Make sure to remove any seeds as you go. These vibrant citrus slices will infuse the Sangria with a burst of freshness.

2

Mix the spices

In a small bowl, combine 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, and 1 star anise. Give them a gentle crush to release their aromatic flavors. This blend of spices will add a tantalizing twist to your Sangria.

3

Combine the ingredients

In a large pitcher, pour 1 bottle of red wine. Add the prepared citrus slices and the spice mixture. Next, pour in 1 cup of orange juice and 1/4 cup of brandy. Finally, sweeten the Sangria to taste with 1/4 cup of honey or sugar. Stir everything together gently.

4

Chill and let it marinate

Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a truly refreshing Sangria experience.

5

Serve and enjoy!

When you're ready to serve, make sure to give the Sangria a good stir. Fill glasses or stemless wine glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Sangria over them. Garnish each glass with a fresh sprig of mint or a cinnamon stick, if desired. Sip, savor, and enjoy the summer vibes!
