How to Make Sangria

-

Drink your way through summer with this

 super-easy sip.



With its versatility and refreshing taste, sangria is a great go-to drink for any get-together.  The best part? It’s super easy to make and offers endless opportunities to customize the flavor. 

Step 1

ADD SUGAR TO LIQUOR





To start, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1/2 cup of brandy until the sugar is dissolved. Make sure the sugar gets mixed throughout the sangria, and doesn’t just sink to the bottom of the pitcher. Keep stirring until it's fully dissolved.

Step 2

ADD YOUR WINE & JUICE





Add in the your other liquid ingredients: 3 cups of dry red wine, 1 1/2 cups orange juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons grenadine and 1 ½ cups carbonated lemon-lime beverage. If you like a sweeter sangria, use lemon-lime soda such as Sprite or 7-UP. If you want to tamp down the sweetness, just use lemon-lime-flavored seltzer or even plain seltzer.

  1. TIP : Don't have grenadine on hand? Use a bit of maraschino cherry juice instead


Step 3

SLICE UP FRUIT




Cut up some lemons, limes and oranges. To get the most juice out of your fruit, try heating them, uncut, in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds. Then, roll them on a countertop with the palm of your hand about four or five times before you cut them. 

Step 4

ADD FRUIT





Once sliced, add the slices to the wine mixture. Let everything stand in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. 

TIP: If refrigerating for longer than the 30 minutes, remove the lemon and lime slices until serving time — they can easily take over the flavor of the sangria and make it too tart.

Step 5

SERVE & ENJOY





When ready to serve, take the sangria out of the fridge, pour it over ice, garnish with some fruit slices and enjoy.

Why Andhra Pradesh won't benefit from the special status Naidu wants for state

-

Will the ‘special’ status that Naidu wants for Andhra Pradesh actually benefit the state? This question has two answers. One answer is steeped in economics. The other lies in politics. Economically, the tag of Special Category State (SCS) no longer means a windfall of special funds to any state. And politically, it only supplies plenty of grist for the propaganda mill of parties. Forty-seven years after it was first introduced, this “special” category has ceased to be anything special. N. Chandrababu Naidu, chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. Reuters If Andhra Pradesh, whose demand for SCS status has now reached a peak, does manage to get it, it would only help the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) boast of extracting a major concession — which it will never get — from the Centre. The BJP, an ally of TDP, will claim that it’s the Modi government that is doling out that concession. On its part, the Congress will say that it was, after all, an assurance given by  Manmohan Singh...

In most of the countries world over , the woman giving birth to a child is considered as the Child's legal mother. However, in very few countries, the Intended Parents are be recognized as the legal parents from birth by the virtue of the fact that the Surrogate has contracted to give the birth of the Child for the commissioned Parents.
