go shopping and make it :)

I’m not a drinker really, but this sounds YUMMY!

Sangria Clara
White sangria may seem more pure than the original red version, but it is every bit as potent. Here, the fresh mint leaves infuse the sangria with an unforgettable zesty freshness.

The most delicious ingredients in this recipe, however, are the peaches, wich tend to absorb the perfect amount of white wine.

Makes 8 glasses
15 minutes preparation
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
1 cup (8 fl. oz) water
1 small bunch fresh mint
1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz) sugar
3 cloves
4 short cinnamon sticks
3 1/4 cups (26 fl. oz) dry white wine
2 cups (16 fl. oz) sparkling apple cider
1/2 cup (4 fl. oz) orange juice
2 small apples, cut into chunks
2 small oranges, sliced thin crosswise
2 small peaches, peeled and cut into chunks
Preparation
In a small saucepan, combine the water, mint, sugar, cloves and cinnamon sticks over medium heat. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature.

Remove and discard the mint leaves, cloves, and cinnamon sticks, and pour the mixture into a large serving pitcher.

Mix in all of the remaining ingredients, cover and refrigerate overnight.

AND ANother ….

Peach and orange Sangria
This sparkling sangría uses white wine instead of red, to better partner the vibrant peaches and oranges. Lemons and cherries may be added too, for an additional splash of color. A bit more potent than its sweet taste suggests, this sangria should be savored slowly.
