Sweet Tea Sangria Recipe 

Ingredients
For the sweet tea
6 tea bags of black tea
1/2 cup granulated sugar

For the sangria
6 cups sweet tea
1 bottle white wine, chilled
1 pint raspberries, chilled
Peaches, peeled and sliced and chilled
Fresh mint for garnish

Directions
Make the Sweet Tea
Make half a gallon of sweet tea—you will have some left over.
Bring 3 cups of the water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and remove the pan from the heat.

Dunk the tea bags a few times in the water to hydrate them and then leave them submerged for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags.

While the water is still hot, add the sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.

Pour the tea base into a half-gallon pitcher and top off with cool water. Refrigerate until very cold (at least 4 hours or overnight).

Make the sangria
Work with ingredients that have all been chilled so it can be served right away.

Fill a pitcher with 6 cups of chilled sweet tea and a bottle of chilled white wine. Add the raspberries and sliced peaches and garnish with fresh mint.
