Simple Summer (or Anytime) Sangria

Ingredients

• 1 (1 1/2 liter) bottle cheap red wine

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 oranges, sliced into rounds
• 2 limes, sliced into rounds
• 1 lemon, sliced into rounds, any other fruit you can think to put in it. I have used apples and strawberries

Directions

1. 1

   Put sugar and water in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until dissolved. You're making a simple syrup so you want the sugar to just be melted into the water, not boiling. Take off heat and let cool.

2. 2

   Pour wine into gallon pitcher and put sliced fruits in it. Stir.

3. 3

   Pour cooled syrup into the wine mixture and stir real good. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   I usually take the fruits out after 3 days, if by some miracle it has not been all drunk up by then.

5. 5

   You can use such cheap wine cause the fruits and sugar make the wine turn really good.
