NAILED IT. I brewed this with the intention of trying it as an iced tea, then immediately turning it in to an alcoholic beverage (recipe below). As a tea, I would want to steep it less and maybe add one sugar. It was very tart and full-bodied, but not sour or rough on the palate.
As Sangria, it is PERFECT. If I wanted to have an alcohol-free Sangria, I would simply brew this and ice it.
How I made an awesome Sangria:
1/2 cup of Sangria (tea)
1/2 cup of Merlot
2oz of Sprite.
Serve over ice.
Next time, I want to try with a White Wine base. For the Sangria, I made it with 2 teaspoons in 5oz of water and steeped for 6 minutes. I let it cool in the fridge. No sugar added. It’s PERFECT!
This is You :-D

Bio
I discovered the beauty of loose-leaf tea 6 years ago and I’ll never look back. Have yet to meet I cup of (loose-leaf) tea that I didn’t like.
My profile picture is a cup of Matcha in my hand-painted mug I made at a pottery place that says “Tea warms my heart.”
I work with children, American Sign Language is almost my second language, I love Jesus. My better-half & I volunteer with the homeless, and I spend my free time relaxing at home and enjoying the “little things.” Life is good.
