Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
• 2 chai tea bags
• 1 standard (750 mL) bottle of pinot noir
• 1 cup citrus flavored seltzer
• 1/2 cup ginger brandy
• 2 apples, thinly sliced
• 2 oranges, thinly sliced
• 1 pear, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 cinnamon stick, plus extra for garnish

Directions

• Heat the cranberry juice in a sauce pan over low heat until it almost simmers. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 15 minutes, then taste and see if its chai-spiced enough. You can always repeat the process with a new tea bag! Add the apples, pears, cranberries and orange slices to the bottom of a pitcher with a cinnamon stick and pour all of the ingredients overtop - the juice, wine, seltzer and brandy. Stir well and if desired, let sit for 30 minutes before serving. Fill a glass with ice and orange slices. Pour the sangria over top and garnish with some of the fruit and a couple of cinnamon sticks.
