Sangria With Tangerine Essential Oil

A More Natural Sangria Recipe


This weekend I had my last dinner party of the summer. While I was in the store I decided that I wanted to serve Sangria! I looked for a bottle of pre-made sangria and I was not happy with the ingredients, so I decided to make my own.

Later that day, I realized I don't even have the ingredients that one would actually need to make sangria,  major hostess fail. I don't own triple sec, lemon soda, or white sugar. At that point I was thinking maybe I should have just purchased the mix. 

Fortunately I do have lots of fresh fruit and raw honey...and a few bottles of wine :)

At the last minute I was able to concoct a healthier Sangria using no refined sugar and some of my favorite essential oil! 

You'll need:
1 bottle mild Red wine (Cabernet, mail beck, or a red blend). 
4c water
1/4c fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2c fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4c honey diluted in 1/2c warm water
1 sliced apple
10 drops liquid stevia (may be omitted).
Aaannnnddd the secret ingredient: 2 drops Tangerine Essential Oil!*

Make and enjoy! 

*not all tangerine oil may be consumed internally.

 You can order FDA approved essential oil that may be consumed internally at my website:
