Sangria PART II

The second part would be a little less time consuming. Strawberries and grapes come to my ass best friends, and strawberries go well with cream, so this is where it starts to get a little exciting!

I'll need 10 strawberries. 5 Fresh, 5 dried. I wanted a little freshness inside this drink, and yet have a little bit of intense flavour going through the wine, so I decided in this combination. Mash them up together with 2 heaped tablespoons of sugar in a pestle and mortar (I KNOW this sounds exaggarating, but trust me). Once that is done, pour it into 500ml of Good Quality Dry Red Wine, and give it a nice stir to make sure the strawberry essences gets into the wine. Leave it for aobut an hour in the fridge before preparing to serve.

Just before you are about to serve. Get ready your sugar syrup (it all depends on the taste of the individual) and get equal parts of full cream milk to red wine that you are about to use. Pour your full cream milk and a large handful of icecubes into the blender and give it a nice blend until you get this thick foamy and frothy milkshake. Pour your red wine in it, not forgetting to sift out the strawberries, and continue blending for about 1 more min.

After you achieve a smooth consistency, serve immediately. Add sugar syrup to taste.
