Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Cut one orange and the lemon into thin half-moons, leaving the peel on. Core the apple and cut it into small chunks with the skin on.

2. 2

   Put the orange and lemon slices, the apple and the sugar in a large jug. Press and stir with a wooden spoon for 30-45 seconds to bruise the pieces and draw out some juice.

3. 3

   Squeeze the juice of the second orange into the jug, add the brandy and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

4. 4

   Pour in the wine and stir well.

5. 5

   Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the wine picks up the citrus and apple. It can sit a few hours longer.

6. 6

   Taste and add a little more sugar or brandy if needed.

7. 7

   Just before serving, top up with the soda and stir once.

8. 8

   Fill glasses with ice and pour over the sangria, spooning some orange, lemon and apple into each glass.
