Sangria Recipe
There are a few things very off with this post, I must say. First of all, I hardly ever post recipes for drinks. In fact, among 400 odd recipes in this site, only a handful are drinks recipes.
So anyway, I thought since we have known each other for a while now, I should tell you all that my favourite drink of all times is Sangria. Since leaving Hyderabad, I've hardly ever had it but decided to make it the other day at home. TH hates any kind of alcohol so I got to drink this over the next month ;)
To Make Enough Sangria for 8
500 ml red wine (click here to see what types of wine work best)
2 tbsp brandy (optional)
1 apple, cut into tiny pieces
1/2 an orange, cut into chunks
2-4 tbsp sugar
Mix all the ingredients, refrigerate overnight and serve cold in wine glasses (very important!)

You should know that Sangria is not served in such huge portions. Use wine glasses. I don't have any. In fact, these are the only glasses I have and you may have seen them in may posts before, but ignore that.
Also, this drink is alcoholic! Well, if you grew up in a heavily Catholic-dominated community where every other family you know makes wine at home, you would soon stop looking at it as alcohol and just shut up and drink already!

ReplyDeleteIts a Spanish drink and you should be able to get it in any pub, Nisha. In countries where you can get alcohol, that is.

ReplyDeleteI missed this!!! You made Sangria, it is one of my favorites too, if done right that is :)Siv makes a killer Sangria, so I don't even attempt to make it myself.
ReplyDeleteOh BTW, they hardly serve Sangria in wine glasses in Spain, I remember having it in tall tumblers or even in the short chayakkada kind of glasses over there.
