1 stick cinnamon
1 orange
1 lemon

Preparation
Combine the water, sugar and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.Slice the orange and lemon, place them in a bowl and pour the syrup over the fruit slices. Marinate for at least 4 hours.
Fill a large glass pitcher one-quarter full of ice. Add the marinated fruit, 1 cup of the syrup and the red wine. Stir well with a sangria stick or a wooden spoon and add soda water to taste. Serve in chilled wine glasses.
TIP: Peach slices, strawberries or other fruit in season may replace the orange and lemon.

Hot Tips
Vanilla extract
Be careful to choose vanilla extract that is labeled as "pure" as opposed to the synthetic varieties. Vanilla essence is a stronger version of vanilla extract and only a couple of drops are required for a similar result.
Glossary
Oyster
A saltwater shellfish, invariably sold fresh. Usually be steamed, grilled, poached or eaten raw.
