- One large glass serving pitcher
- One bottle of your favorite GMO free, Organic Red wine. (Hint, Yellowtail is a great budget friendly supermarket brand that uses grapes from New Zealand and Australia, making it a wonderful, clean wine.) Can be Cabernet or Shiraz variety.
- 1 - 2 bottles of GT's Synergy Kombucha - Use either Passionberry Bliss or Strawberry
- 2 medium sized Organic Oranges
- 2 small, ripe Organic peaches
- A handful of fresh or frozen Organic strawberries
- A handful of fresh or frozen Organic blackberries
- Slice your oranges and peaches into wedges, and then place them in the bottom of the pitcher.
- Next pour the bottle of wine into the pitcher so that it fills it up at least halfway.
- Then take your choice of GT's Kombucha, and fill up the rest of your pitcher with the kombucha. It may take one - two bottles of Kombucha, depending on the size of your pitcher.
- Place your pitcher outside in the sun for 2 - 3 hours minimum to soak, if it is sunny.
- Bring the pitcher back inside after it is done soaking, and then add ice to the pitcher and place in the freezer for about a half an hour to get it nice and chilled.
- Pour over individual wine glasses and enjoy!
- If it isn't sunny, or you don't feel like soaking your Sangria in the sun, you can just skip this step and go straight to drinking!
