Sangria

OK everyone knows I enjoy my glass of wine. I dont know what made me think of it....but I thought Sangria. I know its wine and fruit but I wanted to make it the "right" way. I looked for recipes and almost  all called for soda??? or lots of sugar. I found somewhere  a recipe for "authentic Sangria" of course now I cant find it but it used honey & cinnamon. I dont have a formal recipe I just made it to taste.
 
                                                      Just fill up a pitcher with:

A nice full bodied red wine ( I like Opici homemade Barberone its not really sweet or too dry)

Fruit whatever you like I found juicing oranges worked really well, sliced up and some of the juice squeezed in and a little lime

Honey to taste I used maybe 2-3 tablespoons

Cinnamon, just a pinch & a tiny bit of nutmeg



Now to be honest some didnt like the cinnamon but I thought it was really good, not too sweet the fruit and spices really came out.


                                             SALUD!!!!!!!!
