The benefits of healthy eating are today being given more publicity than ever before and there are good reasons for this. Poor diet is a contributing factor in health conditions such as heart disease and hypertension which can put a drain on the economy. There are more and more campaigns to try to get us to lead a healthier way of living and still it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is often bad for our health. In all probability, most people think that it takes a great deal of work to eat healthily and that they will have to drastically change their way of life. It is possible, though, to make several small changes that can start to make a positive impact to our everyday eating habits.
You can make similar changes with the oils that you use to cook your food. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat which can help to fight bad cholesterol. It can also be healthy for your skin as it is a superb source of vitamin E. Although you may already consume lots of fruits and leafy greens, you might want to consider how fresh they are. If you choose organic foods, you can avoid the problem of ingesting crops that may have been sprayed with deadly pesticides. If you can locate a good local supplier of fresh fruit and veggies, you can also consume foods that have not lost their nutrients as a result of storage or not being picked at the right time.
Hence, it should be fairly obvious that it’s not hard to add healthy eating to your daily lifestyle.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to sangria (cocktail) recipe. To make sangria (cocktail) you only need 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Sangria (cocktail):
- Prepare wine (1.5L) red or white, doesn't matter
- Provide Apples (chopped to small chunks)
- Get oranges
- Provide lime
- Prepare strawberries
- Take sprite (1/4 - 1/3 amount of wine)
- Use brandy or cointreau
Instructions to make Sangria (cocktail):
- Cut one of the orange into small chunks and reserved the oranges peels (the orange peels are optional). Juiced the other 2 oranges along with the lime. Cut both strawberries and apples into small chunks
- Put all the above (step no.1) in a big mixing bowl (I am using jug containers, as I need to be able to transport this in the car without spilling)
- Add in wine, brandy and sprite and mix well. It best to let it cool in the fridge for couple of hours (or over night), so the fruits are well marinated with booze.
- Pour sangria in a fancy glass along with the fruits, and drinks responsibly.
- My rule of thumb, is to have the ratio of sprite 1/4 - 1/3 of the total wine you used. As for the brandy.. well you can add more if you want to make it stronger (more alcoholic). Apples and oranges are mandatory fruits in sangria (the basic), other type of fruits can be added to your liking. I like to put strawberry in mine as it's added a nice flavour
