Strawberry Sangria

1 cup Water

⅔ cup Sugar

3 Cloves

2 Medium Lemon Slices

2 Medium Lime Slices

4 Strawberry Herb Teabags

2 tbsp Minced Candied Ginger

3 ¼ cups Dry Red Wine

2 cups Strawberry Juice

6 tbsp Brandy

1 ¼ cups Fresh Strawberries, Trimmed and Chopped

1 cup Club Soda

Combine the water, sugar, cloves, and lemon and lime slices together in a saucepan and set over medium heat. Mix well, and allow simmering for a couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the tea bags. After allowing the tea bags to infuse for five minutes, remove and discard the tea bags and the cloves, and transfer the mixture to a large serving pitcher. Add the wine, strawberry juice, brandy. Mix well and drop in the lemon and lime slices and strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

Immediately before serving, mix in the club soda for extra fizz. Serve chilled, over ice.
