How to Make Best Ever Spanish Sangria

1. In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon stick.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and steam rises (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
4. In a large heatproof pitcher, combine the red wine and brandy.
5. Pour the cooled citrus-spice mixture into the pitcher.
6. Add the orange slices and rosemary leaves (or other herbs). Gently stir to combine.
7. If using, add the thinly sliced apples or pears (soaked in brandy overnight). Stir gently.
8. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
9. (Optional) Add other fruits like berries, peaches or cherries just before serving.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
