Strawberry Kiwi Sangria With Rosé Geranium Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries, wine, fruit juice, club soda, brandy, mint leaves, kiwi and limes together in a large pitcher, jar or bowl and stir, stir, stir. Refrigerate for an hour or so (or longer!) before serving. Taste, and if it's too sweet for you, add a bit more soda or dry wine. If you let this sit overnight, it will turn a pretty shade of pink!
• To serve, add some of the soaked fruit to a glass with crushed ice. Pour in the sangria and garnish with a mint leaf!

Steps:

• Hull and slice the strawberries.
• Peel and slice the kiwi fruit into rounds.
• On a serving plate, arrange the kiwi fruit and strawberries slices in contrasting circles.
• Pour orange juice and gin over fruit and let macerate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Sprinkle with sugar.
• Serve with sweet biscuits or cookies.

Steps:

• Hull the strawberries and cut them in half. Peel the kiwis and cut them into slices.
• Combine half of the halved strawberries, the sugar and water in a saucepan and turn the heat up to medium. Bring the mixture up to a boil and then let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the strawberries seem like they're about to fall apart. 3.Let cool for a few minutes, and then, using a mesh sieve, strain the strawberry goodness into a bowl. Use a spoon to press the strawberries up against the mesh so you get every last beautiful drop of strawberry syrup. Place the syrup in the refrigerator to cool a bit.
• Combine the kiwi slices and the remaining strawberries in a pitcher, and add the rum, white wine, strawberry syrup, and the juice of three oranges (in a pinch, you could also sub a few splashes of bottled orange juice, or even lemonade, for the fresh orange juice).
• Give it all a good stir and then pop the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least four hours to let all of the flavors come together.
• When you're ready to serve, add around three-quarters of the chilled sparkling wine to the pitcher. Pour into glasses and spoon in fruit, topping each glass off with a bit of the remaining champagne so it's nice a bubbly when you hand the glass to a friend. Cheers!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine wine, strawberry schnapps, and sugar in a large pitcher. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add sliced strawberries and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
• Pour over ice and garnish with whole strawberries before serving.

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups water to boil in large saucepan. Add tea bags; cover and let steep 10 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add sugar to hot tea; stir until dissolved. Stir in remaining 4 cups water. Chill tea until cold, about 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled.) Puree 2 baskets strawberries in processor. Slice remaining 2 baskets strawberries. Place pureed and sliced berries in large pitcher (or divide between 2 pitchers). Add tea and all remaining ingredients. Stir and serve. *Rose water is available at Middle Eastern markets and specialty foods stores. MARKET TIP: Unless you already grow them, you'll most likely have to visit a nursery to find rose geraniums. They make great potted plants and, of course, smell wonderful, too. The aromatic, rose-scented leaves are used to infuse their flavor in sorbets, ices, and beverages.
