At the risk of bragging, I must tell you all: Sorry guys: My Sangria recipe is the BEST, period!

Ingredients:

2 cups very strong hot tea (green, black, red, white), decaf OK

A dozen cloves

5–6 cinnamon sticks

A few pieces fresh ginger

1 dozen peppercorns

2 bottles dry red wine, chilled

1 12-ounce can pineapple juice concentrate with no sugar added (or any other juice concentrate)

1 each: orange, green apple and lemon or lime, cut into medium-thin half slices

Optional: when your mixture is all ready, taste to see if you like it sweeter and add a little honey, sugar, or even juice concentrate.

Instructions:

Mix the first set of ingredients in a teapot, and let it steep and cool completely. Strain the mixture into a large pitcher. Add the wine and fruit. Keep chilled. No ice. Serve with some of the sliced fruit in each glass.

Variation: White sangria GF, P

Green tea, dry white wine, light-colored juice concentrate just as apple, orange  or pineapple (no cranberry, red grape, or pomegranate). Proceed just as above.
