First make the simply syrup. Put all the ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer for at least an hour or until the mixture reduces and starts to thicken up a bit. It doesn't need to be too thick. Set aside to cool.

Next make the sangria.

Add all the ingredients into a pitcher and stir well.

Fill a glass full of ice and fill the glass almost all the way with the sangria mixture.

Top it off with a little club soda. You don't have to do this, but otherwise we feel like it is too sweet and just a little club soda tastes great.
